Laos will field a young side in the qualifying tournament for the AFF Suzuki Cup.After qualifying in first spot for the last tournament, Laos are keen to repeat the feat and take their place in the finals in December.
Laos will host the 25th SEA Games in 2009 and with an eye on that competition the current squad has only five players who are over 23 years of age. The hope is that the youngsters will take the experience they gain in competitions this year into the SEA Games.
The squad has been preparing for the AFF Suzuki Cup competition since July and a number of players have excelled in training. Striker Lamnao Singto, defender Chandalaphone Liapvisay and Sounthalay Saysongkham, a midfielder, have all impressed the coaching staff.
Laos pipped the Philippines for top spot by a point in the qualifying tournament in 2006 and they are looking for the same result this time around.
