According to the plan on the afternoon of February 24, Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), the tournament organizing committee conducted the second inspection of the current status of Ha Tinh Stadium, after the first inspection on February 21.
The inspection was attended by representatives of Hong Linh Ha Tinh club and representatives of the Ha Tinh Stadium management unit, the Ha Tinh Provincial Sports Center.
Previously, immediately after VPF announced that the quality of Ha Tinh Stadium was not guaranteed for the organization of matches of Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club in the professional football tournament system, Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club and Ha Tinh Sports Center have made great efforts to implement many measures to care for and renovate the Ha Tinh Stadium surface.
Regarding the issue of the stadium, Hong Linh Ha Tinh club does not have its own practice ground system, plus factors related to weather conditions in the Northern region that greatly affect the stadium surface, leading to the quality of Ha Tinh's ground not being guaranteed.
With the active measures taken in the past 2 weeks, Hong Linh Ha Tinh club has stopped training and competition activities at Ha Tinh Stadium as requested by the tournament organizing committee, strengthening the care of the field. Even to quickly ensure the conditions of the tournament organizer, Hong Linh Ha Tinh team proactively bought specialized grass, with good vitality to patch up the grass-dead areas. This is considered a positive solution.
However, due to unfavorable weather conditions in the Ha Tinh area, rain and cold for many consecutive days, the grass growing areas need more time to develop and grow.
Therefore, at the time of the inspection on the afternoon of February 24, representatives of VPF Company, the tournament organizing committee and Hong Linh Ha Tinh club all agreed that more time will be needed to ensure the Ha Tinh stadium surface is of the best quality.
Therefore, the match in round 15 of V.League 2024-2025 between Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Thanh Hoa on February 28 will be held at Vinh Stadium (according to the registration of Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club in case the Ha Tinh Stadium surface has not yet met the requirements).
