"As planned, Hue will host the 2019 International U21 Football Tournament, but via the success of Thanh Nien Newspaper National U19 Football Tournament and the final round of the Thanh Nien Newspaper National U21 Football Tournament at the Tu Do Stadium recently, though the host team was eliminated early, a great number of Hue audiences still came to enjoy the matches till the end of the national tournament. At the same time, because of the weather in Khanh Hoa province is becoming complicated by the impact of rainstorms in the coming days, Thua Thien Hue will host this tournament", said Mr. Nguyen Dung, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.

There will be board track motorcycle performances to serve the fans in the opening and closing matches.

The selected U21 team of Vietnam has 22 players, including 20 ones from Hanoi, Binh Duong, Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Viettel, and Dak Lak; and two remaining players are from Thua Thien Hue, who are Nguyen Van Sang, and Nguyen An. Deputy Head of Hue Football Delegation, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tuan said that the “hottest” player of Hue football club was then Tran Thanh, who was a bit out of shape, so that he was not named in the selection list.
