The match between Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Hai Phong in round 2 of V.League 2026-2027 took place on the afternoon of September 13 in conditions where the field surface was not guaranteed.
Previously, Pleiku stadium was affected by prolonged rainy weather, making it difficult to take care of and maintain the quality of the grass.
It is known that the stadium management board has implemented measures to improve the pitch surface to serve the match. However, weather forecasts show that rain may continue to last, while the current pitch surface is difficult to recover in a short time.
After the round 2 match, the organizers of national professional football leagues have assessed the conditions of the stadium. Accordingly, the possibility of Pleiku stadium continuing to be used in the upcoming matches is being considered based on the actual situation and weather developments.
In the immediate future, Hoang Anh Gia Lai will have a match in the National Cup qualifiers on September 20. If the Pleiku stadium surface does not meet the requirements, the Mountain Town team may have to choose another stadium as the venue for the match.
Quy Nhon Stadium is considered a feasible option to choose from. The stadium transfer still needs to wait for an official decision from the organizers after assessing the condition of the pitch and the requirements related to the organization.
