On the golden day of October 22nd, Vietnam's sports landscape has been given a new lease of life. Local media outlet "thethao247" revealed that the Hanoi City Civic Committee has given the nod to allow 12,000 enthusiastic fans (nearly 30% of the total capacity of the My Dinh Stadium) to enter the stadium to see Vietnam challenge Japan and Saudi Arabia in an exciting match on their doorstep.
In line with the tight schedule of the World Qualifier, Vietnam's drums will be beating on November 11 for a fierce battle against Japan, followed by November 16, when they will be called upon again to challenge Saudi Arabia. Entrants will be required to show proof of double vaccination, as well as a negative nucleic acid test within 72 hours before the match, and will have to strictly adhere to vaccination precautions.
The return of the home fans will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for Vietnam's "Venus Soldiers". Coach Park Heng-seo and his team will get endless motivation from the passionate support of the fans. Captain Que Ngoc Hai also revealed in an interview that the presence of the fans will bring great psychological pressure to the opponents.
Currently, the organizing committee is working non-stop to make intense preparations for the upcoming Japan match, which includes the coordination of ticket distribution, while a detailed organizational plan for the Vietnam match will be submitted to the AFC.
