Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnam are the most valuable team at the SEA Games 33, boasting an estimated market value of around 3.6 million USD, according to Transfermarkt, a prominent German football statistics website specialising in player valuations and transfers.

This valuation reflects the country's significant investment in its youth and the impressive performances of its players in domestic competitions.
Despite Indonesia's rapid advancement in football and their status as the reigning SEA Games champions, their squad’s total market value stands slightly lower at 3.44 million USD, particularly in terms of young player valuation.

Meanwhile, the host nation, Thailand, have a squad value estimated at 2.06 million USD, considerably lower than both Vietnam and Indonesia. This discrepancy may be due to a lack of inclusion of their top young talents, resulting in uneven valuations across different positions.

The competition between Vietnamese and Indonesian players for individual market value adds an exciting dynamic to the tournament.

The highest-valued players from Vietnam, Khuat Van Khang and Nguyen Dinh Bac, are each valued at around 370,000 USD, thanks to their potential and consistent performances in the V.League 1.
