CALISTO RELEASES SEA GAMES TRAINING SQUAD LIST

But Calisto ascertained that the list is still open where after a month, he might reconsider some revisions following the U-21 National Football Tournament final.

“The players must practice, practice and practice to make a strong team. Our goal is always the same. That is to win at the 25th SEA Games,” quipped Calisto.

Out of the squad of 33 players, 17 of them played in the Merdeka Tournament last year with the absence of midfielders Cong Huy of The Cong and Nhat Nam of Nam Dinh.
