The Vietnam national under-17 football team (Vietnamese: Đội tuyển quốc gia U17 Việt Nam), also known as National U-16–U-17 Selection Team (Vietnamese: Đội tuyển U-16–U-17 Quốc gia), represents Vietnam in football at an under-17 age level and is controlled by Vietnam Football Federation, the governing body for football in Vietnam. They are currently coached by Cristiano Roland.

History

The Vietnamese under-16 national team made their first international appearance in the 2000 AFC U-16 Championship as hosts. Lead by Phạm Văn Quyến and Phan Như Thuật, the team finished as group runners-up in the group stage, and advanced to the semi-finals. There, they were defeated by Iran. In the third-place match to determine AFC's last representative for the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship, Vietnam suffered a 2–4 loss against Japan.[1][2] As of 2025, this is Vietnam's best result in the tournament.

In 2016, Vietnam passed the AFC U-16 Championship group stage for the second time, before being eliminated by Iran in the quarter-finals.[3]

At regional level, Vietnam had won three ASEAN U-16 Championship titles: in 2006, 2010 and 2017.[4]
