According to the plan, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team depart on a flight at 8:40 am and are expected to arrive in Jakarta at around 1:00 pm. After that, the whole team will continue to travel by bus to Bogor city, where the match with the Indonesian team takes place.
Due to the dense schedule and travel distance, the Vietnamese team only had one training session to get acquainted with the field and complete professional preparation before entering the match.
This is considered a decisive match for the situation in Group A. After a 0-0 draw against Singapore, the Vietnamese team has 4 points after two matches and is temporarily ranked third, while Indonesia is ranked second with 6 points but has only played two matches.
To nurture the hope of winning a ticket to the semi-finals, coach Kim Sang-sik's team needs to aim for a favorable result against the home team. If they win, the Vietnamese team will rise above Indonesia and regain their right to self-determination in the race to the next round.
The match between Indonesia and the Vietnamese team will take place on August 3rd at Pakansari Stadium (Bogor). This is predicted to be one of the most notable matches of Group A of ASEAN Cup 2026.
