In fact, in recent times, the story of finding a playing field for the Vietnam team in the Asian qualifiers or the World Cup qualifiers has always made experts and fans worried. My Dinh Stadium has not guaranteed playing conditions for nearly a year. This is also the reason why the national team had to choose Viet Tri and Binh Duong courts as competition locations. At a lower level, fans hope that financial resources will help national professional tournaments invest more heavily in facilities and technical infrastructure.
VAR will raise the level if the number of cameras present is greater and more diverse at stadiums. The financial problem for Vietnamese football is gradually being suggested through the Development Project to 2030, with a vision to 2045. The key issue is how the authorities will use investment resources and effectively mobilize the support of sponsors to bring the country's football to new heights.
