JAKARTA - Vietnam U-23 coach, Kim Sang-sik, is happy to welcome his team's victory in the 2025 AFF U-23 Cup. This result was achieved after The Golden Star won 1-0 in the final over the U-23 Indonesian national team.

After the match at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, WIB night, Kim Sang-sik could not hide her happiness.

This is very commonplace, especially since Kim Sang-sik successfully followed in the footsteps of the previous two coaches who brought The Golden Star Warriors into champion, namely Dinh The Nam in 2022 and Hoang Anh Tuan in 2023.

In addition to the personal achievement made by the South Korean coach, for him, he is still a player who deserves to be a star. He also did not forget to appreciate what the players had worked on.

"I am happy to be able to win over Indonesia U-23, this is the third trophy in a row. The players never give up during the match, they fought 90 minutes."

"So congratulations and I'm proud of the players. I also thank the supporters who have supported me," said the coach who has handled Vietnam U-23 since 2024.

According to the coach, the players can not only face challenges on the field. There is mental strength that also supports Vietnam's move to the podium.

"Also, there are a lot of Indonesian fans in the stadium, but the players never give up, they try to be brave, so I thank the Vietnamese players," he said.

Kim Sang-sik understands that winning the 2025 AFF U-23 Cup is not the end of everything. There are a number of important agendas that will be undertaken by Khuat Van Khang and his friends after this.

"I want the players to develop and have experience through tournaments like this. We still have very important Asian and SEA Games (2025) qualifications."

"Our team is not yet perfect, but by gathering experiences from important matches, I hope the players get more flying hours and can perform better," he said.
