Accordingly, on the evening of November 23, information appeared that Ho Chi Minh City Club owed the players and coaching staff of the team up to 30 billion VND.
Immediately afterwards, speaking to Dan Tri reporters on the night of November 23, the leader of Ho Chi Minh City Club confirmed that the information about the above debt was not true. Specifically, the leader of Ho Chi Minh City Club said: "The information that we owe the players and the team's coaching staff up to 30 billion VND is incorrect."

"I affirm that the team does not owe salaries, only the promised relegation bonus and 25% of the signing bonus (the agreed amount that football clubs in Vietnam often pay to players when they agree to sign a contract with the team).
The amount is not up to 30 billion VND as the information has just appeared, even that is an insignificant number", this leader of HCMC Club affirmed.
On the evening of November 24, Ho Chi Minh City Club continued to send out an open letter, announcing: "On the morning of November 24, we had a specific discussion with the members of the team. Up to now, all support costs (bribes, other costs) for the first leg of the 2023-2024 season and salaries have been paid in full."
"We also confirm that the information from some members of the coaching staff and players (about the team's debt) is not well-founded and has not been verified," added the HCMC Club.
