The semi-final match between U23 Vietnam and U23 China will take place at 10:30 PM on January 20th. This is not only a match to decide a ticket to the final, but also an opportunity for tourists to immerse themselves in the exciting football atmosphere at live viewing points across the country.
Ho Chi Minh City will install 6 large LED screens on Nguyen Hue pedestrian street to serve people and tourists watching the 2026 AFC U23 Championship semi-finals.
Each screen is 7 m high, 12 m wide, and is arranged along Nguyen Hue route from Ton Duc Thang intersection to Le Loi.
This activity is sponsored by businesses, taking place from 8:30 PM on January 20 to the end of the U23 semi-final match, and also serving the third-place matches on January 23 and the AFC U23 Championship final on January 24.
Ho Chi Minh City has developed a plan to ensure security and order and parking to serve people and tourists watching the 2026 AFC U23 Championship semi-final match of U23 Vietnam at Nguyen Hue pedestrian street on the evening of January 20.
Previously, the centralized football viewing activity with LED screens at Nguyen Hue was deployed in the SEA Games 33 men's football final in December 2025, attracting tens of thousands of fans and creating a vibrant, safe and civilized atmosphere in the center of Ho Chi Minh City.
The live football viewing event at Nguyen Hue pedestrian street is expected to become an attractive destination for tourists on this occasion, contributing to creating a vibrant atmosphere and promoting the image of Ho Chi Minh City tourism.
U23 Vietnam is making a mark at the 2026 AFC U23 Championship held in Saudi Arabia when they first passed the group stage with a perfect record. The team won a ticket to the semi-finals after a 3-2 victory over U23 UAE in the quarter-finals.
