The match is part of the Maybank Challenge Cup which aims to raise funds for Al-Sultan Abdullah (YASA), a prestigious charity organisation in Malaysia, and an activity of the former EPL champions' summer tour.

The two names are midfielder Nguyen Hai Long of Hanoi FC and defender Nguyen Van Vi of defending champions Thep Xanh Nam Dinh.

Their appearance makes a total tally of four Vietnamese players in the team, along with those from every regional squad, reflecting the diversity and collective strength of Southeast Asian football.

The addition to the side was made after star midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai decided to withdraw as he has to focus on Haanoi Police FC's ASEAN Clubs Championship's finals against Thai Buriram United on May 14 and 21.

Two others are defender Do Duy Manh of Hanoi and midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc of Phu Dong Ninh Binh FC.

All four were Vietnam's core to their ASEAN Cup 2024 victory.

Similar to Vietnam, Thailand also have four representatives. They are goalkeeper Patiwat Khammai, and midfielders Peeradol Chamrasamsee, Worachit Kanitsribampen and Ben Davies.

Indonesia have two players called up, defenders Asnawi Mangkualam and Muhammad Ferarri.

Korean Kim, who is Vietnam’s head coach, also called on three Malaysians, but Dominic Tan and Ezequiel Aguero have not been released by their clubs. The Football Association of Malaysia will have to find other nominees in addition to keeper Haziq Nadzli.

Cambodian representatives are striker Abdel Coulibaly and defender Kan Mo.

Defender Irfan Fandi is the only player from Singapore. Myanmar are sending midfielder Maung Maung Lwin, while Brunei have midfielder Azwan Ali Rahman.

Laotien Bounphachan Bounkong and Timorese Joao Pedro are Kim's goal hunters.
