Mr. Thach Thanh Tam, Student Affairs Department of Tra Vinh University, said that the school has created conditions for students who are passionate about sports to cheer for the team. Information about the match was widely shared to all courses and classes, then the number of registrations was compiled to make a specific list. The means of transport was mobilized by the school, which could accommodate a large number. However, due to overlapping school schedules, the number of fans coming to watch the first two matches was somewhat modest.

More than 100 km from Can Tho Stadium, Tra Vinh University is considered the farthest of the 6 teams in the Southwest region. The travel time is more than 2 hours, so the fans are very careful. "The distance from the school to the competition venue is not very beautiful, there are many bumpy sections. Many people cannot stand it because of motion sickness. The advantage is that the whole group is hardworking, the driver drives carefully and enthusiastically, so we do not miss a single moment of the match," said Mr. Tam.
