Making a miracle in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup 1, HCMC Women's Club received double the bonus of the LPBank V.League 1 champion team

The extraordinary comeback of HCMC Women's Club came in the 64th minute, when K'Thua scored from close range to bring the score to 1-3. Not long after, it was Chuong Thi Kieu's turn to head the ball into the opponent's face to score the second goal. Although they were then behind 2-4, with their indomitable spirit, HCMC Women's Club scored 2 goals in a row from 2 great long-range shots to bring the score to 4-4. In the 89th minute, the Abu Dhabi CC center-back made a dangerous header into his own net, sealing the victory for the Vietnamese representative.

With a team that fielded all foreign players, held the former Korean champion (Hyundai Steel) to a draw and defeated a strong Chinese team (Wuhan Jiangda) like Abu Dhabi CC, it is clear that the victory of the HCMC Women's Club has great significance. This is not only a victory against a stronger team with better potential, but also a victory over adversity, a victory that demonstrates the extraordinary fighting spirit of Vietnamese sports.

And the HCMC Women's Club also received a worthy reward for this feat. According to calculations, they received a shower of bonuses totaling 10 billion VND. First were the bonuses from the AFC. The Vietnamese representative just received an additional 120,000 USD thanks to reaching the semi-finals. Before that, they had 220,000 USD from participating in the group stage and reaching the quarter-finals. The total bonus from the Asian football governing body for the HCMC Women's Club is 340,000 USD, equivalent to 8.7 billion VND.

Not stopping there, the Vietnam Football Federation and the Ho Chi Minh City Football Federation have awarded this team 700 million VND. In addition to the 300 million VND bonus from the VFF for their previous achievement in the quarterfinals, the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club will receive 1 billion VND from domestic football operators.

Thus, the total bonus for reaching the semi-finals of the Asian Cup C1 of Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club is 9.7 billion VND. They will receive an amount nearly double the bonus of winning LPBank V.League 1. Remember, the champion team of the 2024/25 season will only receive 5 billion VND.
