Asiad 19 men's soccer match schedule and results
Asiad 19 men's soccer initially had 23 participating teams, divided into six groups, each with four teams, with only three teams in Group D.
But one day before the tournament started, Syria and Afghanistan asked not to participate, so Group C only had Uzbekistan and Hong Kong left. These two teams will compete in two rounds on September 22 and September 25, and will automatically advance to the next round because each group will take the top two teams and the four third teams with high achievements in the round of 1/8.
The other group teams also benefit from having one less competitor for the third place with the best record. In Group B, Vietnam was beaten lower than Saudi Arabia and Iran but higher than Mongolia.
Last time, Vietnam reached the semi-finals, but lost to South Korea and the UAE so they did not win a medal.
