The second leg of the ASEAN Cup 2026 final between Vietnam and Thailand will take place at 8:00 PM on August 26th at My Dinh National Stadium. Before the match started, the atmosphere outside the stadium became bustling as a large number of fans began to flock in.
According to Lao Dong's records, from about 4 pm, many fans wearing red shirts, carrying national flags, banners and cheering items gathered in the My Dinh stadium area. Lines of people waiting to check tickets, preparing to enter the stadium created a lively atmosphere before the most anticipated match of Southeast Asian football.
Many fans actively came to the stadium very early to avoid congestion and have more time to immerse themselves in the football atmosphere. Cheers, calls to each other and red flags with yellow stars appeared more and more around the stadium area.
The match is decisive for the ASEAN Cup 2026 championship. In the first leg final in Thailand on August 22, the Vietnamese team won 2-0 thanks to goals from Hai Long and Quang Hai, thereby creating a significant advantage before the second leg.
Present at My Dinh Stadium early, Mr. Do Vu Huy, a fan from Ho Chi Minh City who came to Hanoi to directly watch the final match, said he was very excited to witness the Vietnamese team playing at home.
I came from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi to watch this match. The atmosphere before the match was great. I believe the Vietnamese team will continue to win," Mr. Huy shared.
This fan predicts that Vietnam will defeat Thailand with a score of 2-0 in the second leg. According to Mr. Huy, Xuan Son and Dinh Bac will be the players who score goals for the home team.
The early appearance of fans also shows the special attraction of the final match. After the 2-0 victory in the first leg, the Vietnamese team only needs to preserve the advantage to aim for the championship, while Thailand must win with a large enough margin if they want to reverse the situation.
The organizing committee and functional forces have deployed plans to control and divert fans before the match. As the match time approaches, the number of fans flocking to the stadium is forecast to continue to increase.
Not only fans from Hanoi and neighboring localities, but also many fans from other provinces and cities also find ways to be present at My Dinh to directly support coach Kim Sang-sik and his team.
The second leg final starts at 8:00 PM on August 26th. Vietnam is facing the opportunity to defend the championship after taking a 2-0 advantage in the first leg.
