Students specialized in football join four specialized courses in football, aiming to accurately assess their technical and physical fitness abilities, which helps reviewing and adjusting the detailed syllabus to develop an appropriate training program. The research employed document synthesis and interview methods, selecting 10 tests to evaluate technical skills and physical fitness for the research subjects - male students in the 43rd cohort majoring in football at the Department of Physical Education. Using statistical methods, the study compared the students' proficiency before and after completing the specialized football courses to examine their development. It also compared their skills with those of the 41st cohort of football majors to draw conclusions about the detailed syllabus content. Additionally, the data were compared with the technical and physical fitness assessment standards of the Institute of Sports Science and Physical Education for young football players, providing an overall view of the professional capacity of football students in the Department of Physical Education relative to the required standards for young Vietnamese football athletes.
