The Vietnamese team officially won a ticket to the final of the ASEAN Cup 2024 after defeating Singapore 2-0 in the first leg of the semi-finals and 3-1 in the second leg of the semi-finals.
Based on the draw code before the tournament, the first leg of the final between Vietnam and the winner of the remaining semi-final (Thailand/Philippines) will take place at home and the second leg will take place away.
Accordingly, Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho) continues to be chosen as the home stadium of the Vietnam team, instead of My Dinh Stadium (Hanoi).
The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has reasons for making this decision. Firstly, the Asian Football Confederation (AFF) only agrees to let the host country change the originally registered stadium in cases of force majeure or special reasons.
For example, the Singapore team was forced to change from the National Stadium to Jalan Besar Stadium because of a previously planned music program (before the ASEAN Cup changed its match schedule).
Another important reason is that at this time, the conditions for organizing the match and the grass of My Dinh Stadium do not ensure quality after 17 days of organizing the music show "Anh trai say hi". Meanwhile, the grass of Viet Tri Stadium still meets the requirements to organize the match.
In addition, another factor also influenced this decision because the Vietnamese team is getting good results in matches at Viet Tri Stadium, successively winning Indonesia 1-0, Myanmar 5-0 and Singapore...
Although the capacity of Viet Tri Stadium is only about 20,000 seats, the fans always create a passionate atmosphere, supporting coach Kim Sang-sik and his team.
