VFF Rejectes Coach Park Hang-seo's Proposal for Vietnam National Team
Recently, Coach Park Hang-seo and his colleagues expressed their desire to organize the match against the UAE on November 14 in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers at Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City, instead of all at My Dinh.
However, this proposal of the Korean coaching team did not receive the consensus of the Vietnam Football Federation. The reason is that in mid-November, the Vietnam National Team will have 2 consecutive World Cup qualifiers, only 3 days apart. Therefore, if the event is held at two locations far apart, it will be very disadvantageous for the team itself.
Cong Phuong missed the opportunity to test World Cup-class players
Guillermo Ochoa is an extremely familiar name to football fans around the world, especially at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

However, right before the new season, Ochoa suffered a regrettable injury, expected to be out for at least a month and out for at least 5 matches. The most notable of these is the match against Cong Phuong and Sint-Truiden on August 11.

According to Mr. Somyot Poompunmuang, it is impossible for all 10 Southeast Asian countries to host the World Cup at the same time, two or three countries co-hosting the World Cup will be more feasible because according to the regulations, each country hosting the World Cup will officially get 1 place to participate in this tournament.
