The LPBank Cup 2024 international friendly tournament takes place between three teams: Vietnam , Thailand and Russia.
On the evening of September 5, the Vietnamese team played the opening match of the tournament and lost 0-3 to Russia. The next match is between Russia and Thailand, scheduled to take place at 8pm on September 7.
However, due to concerns about the impact of Typhoon Yagi, the organizers had to cancel this match. The Russian team still returned home in the early morning of September 8 as scheduled, meaning they will not play a rematch against Thailand.
Thus, the tournament will only have the final match between Vietnam and Thailand. Due to not ensuring the nature of the competition, the organizing committee decided to cancel the awards for the champion, runner-up and third place teams.
Initially, the format was a round robin format. The champion team would be judged on the following criteria: points, head-to-head record, goal difference and total goals. The champion team was expected to receive a prize of 10,000 USD, the runner-up would receive 7,000 USD and the third-placed team would receive 5,000 USD.
Details of bonuses or compensation (if any) for the three teams will be announced by the organizers later.
At 8:00 p.m. on September 10, the Vietnamese team will face Thailand at My Dinh Stadium. This will be the first time Mr. Kim Sang-sik will face the Golden Temple team as head coach of the Vietnamese team.
