The total cost was not disclosed, but FAT paid for all medical expenses and hospital care and accommodation before Vietnamese national team player Nguyen Xuan Son returned home with his teammates on the morning of January 6.

Nguyen Xuan Son suffered a serious injury in the AFF Cup final between Vietnam and Thailand on the evening of January 5. He left the field in pain at the 34th minute of the first half, causing much concern for fans. Immediately afterwards, he was taken by ambulance to a hospital in the center of Bangkok for examination.
Through tests, it was determined that Xuan Son had broken both bones in his right shin. After a night in the hospital in Thailand, the 27-year-old Brazilian striker had his injuries fixed, returned home and underwent successful surgery on the evening of January 6.

It is expected that Nguyen Xuan Son will have to rest for several months before he can train and compete again. According to many assessments, the current main striker of the Vietnamese team has the ability to fully recover and return to compete at his highest level, as he demonstrated at the AFF Cup 2024.
Two Thai players who were injured during the AFF Cup, striker Teerasak Poeiphimai and midfielder Akarapong Pumwisat, also had their medical and injury care expenses paid by the FAT.
The cost of surgery, treatment and recovery for Xuan Son in Vietnam will be jointly paid by the Vietnam Football Federation and Nam Dinh Club.
