The National Cup 2025-2026 has identified 4 teams participating in the semi-finals including Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, Ho Chi Minh City Police, Ninh Binh and The Cong Viettel.
These are all teams with high professional quality, promising to create two notable matches in the race to win tickets to the final.
At Thien Truong Stadium, Nam Dinh will host Ho Chi Minh City Police. Although not maintaining stable form in the V.League when having to share strength for many fronts, the Nam Dinh team is still highly appreciated thanks to its experienced force and has won the national championship twice in a row.
Home advantage is also an important fulcrum for Nam Dinh. In this season, coach Vu Hong Viet's team once defeated Ho Chi Minh City Police with a score of 2-0 at Thien Truong. In the context of only one step away from the final, the home team is expected to continue to promote their advantage to aim for the title.
Meanwhile, the remaining semi-final is the confrontation between Ninh Binh and The Cong Viettel. Both teams are in the leading group of the V.League this season but cannot touch the championship. Therefore, the National Cup is an important opportunity to close the season with a title.
Previous encounters have shown a balance between the two teams. Both confrontations in the V.League this season ended in a 1-1 draw. The not-so-large professional gap makes the upcoming match predicted to be tight and unpredictable.
