Vietnam team first practice session on natural grass field
The Vietnamese team began their journey from Hanoi to Singapore on the morning of December 23. After half a day of travel, coach Kim Sang-sik's team arrived in the island nation and settled in. In the evening of the same day, the Vietnamese boys put on their shoes and went to the field for their first training session in Singapore, in preparation for the first leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-final, taking place at 8:00 p.m. on December 26 (Vietnam time).

In Singapore, the Vietnamese team had their first practice session at Bishan Stadium - home of Lion City Sailor Club. Bishan Stadium is quite modern, with beautiful natural grass and a high-power lighting system. After the journey that made the players quite tired, the coaching staff only let the Vietnamese team practice relaxation and ghost kicking exercises. In the latter part of the practice session, Coach Kim Sang-sik asked the whole team to practice tactics and movement.
Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Thanh Chung had to practice separately on the first day of training in Singapore. However, Hai and Chung did not encounter any serious problems. It is known that these two players played at high intensity in the match against Myanmar on December 21, so they need more time to reach their best physical condition.
Quang Hai and Thanh Chung are not in the best condition after the match against Myanmar.

Doan Ngoc Tan has returned to training after missing 1 match.
The good news for the Vietnamese team is that midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan has returned to training with the team. In the match against Myanmar, the midfielder of Thanh Hoa Club was not included in the registered list.
In the first training session, the Vietnamese team practiced on natural grass. But in the upcoming training sessions, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will most likely practice on artificial turf, in order to best adapt to the first leg of the semi-final. Because on December 26, the Singapore team will host Vietnam on the artificial turf field at Jalan Besar.
