Viet Tri Stadium in Phu Tho hosted a number of youth tournaments before the national team chose this place as their home ground for the 2024 ASEAN Championship. For a reason that many people find "unpleasant" (My Dinh Stadium hosted 2 Anh trai say hi concerts), VFF reluctantly chose Viet Tri Stadium, but the excellent results of the "Golden Star Warriors" eventually made people almost "forget about the past".
In addition to the efforts of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team, there are also many thoughts about something "spiritual", when the home field is also the land of the ancestors. And that is the reason why the whole team presented the cup to Hung Temple, reporting their achievements to the Hung Kings, while the two previous championships (2008 and 2018), the team won at My Dinh Stadium, so there was no such activity.
Therefore, it is impossible to stop further thoughts about Viet Tri Stadium becoming the home stadium of the national team in the future, when at least there is confirmed information that Phu Tho province plans to upgrade and increase the stadium's capacity from the current 20,000 to about 30,000-35,000.
The fact that Viet Tri Stadium poses a "threat" to My Dinh Stadium is true, or maybe just a joke, but the result of the vote for the 2024 ASEAN Championship Best Team is as real as a joke. The number of 7 Vietnamese players voted is not strange, but among them, the appearance of Bui Hoang Viet Anh in the center-back position naturally makes experts question.
Ask about the seriousness of this vote. Because there is absolutely no information on the tournament's homepage. The image of the team only appears on the Instagram page named "aseanutdfc" and is informed that it was voted by fans. I don't know which fans voted, but in the few hundred comments, most of them are confusion and questions about some positions - even some players from other teams, with why this person and not that person!?
If this is really a tournament-organized vote, it will surely make the ASEAN Championship, which is already not up to par in the eyes of many people, lose even more points. As for considering the fan vote as... fun, it is probably only fun for those who like to joke.
