Three players have been left out of the final list: Nguyen Thi Kim Yen and Nguyen Hoang Nam Mi (both from Thong Nhat Sports Center), and Ho Thi Thanh Thao (Coal and Mining Group FC). Among them, Nam Mi - an overseas Vietnamese player - had attracted significant interest from both experts and fans alike.
