Thong Nhat Stadium is getting hotter every day, waiting for the Vietnamese team to compete with rival Thailand.

Khuat Van Khang scored the first goal for the Vietnamese team at Thong Nhat Stadium.

At the Hung Thinh friendly tournament held in September 2022, Coach Park Hang-seo and the Vietnamese team had a perfect victory against Singapore (4-0) and India (3-0), creating a perfect start for the AFF Cup 2022 where we reached the final.

During the time of coach Philippe Troussier, the Vietnamese team only played friendly matches or official matches at northern stadiums such as Thien Truong, Lach Tray, My Dinh... with the result of losing 10 out of the last 11 matches, causing the "White Witch" to return to France early.

Under coach Kim Sang-sik, he promises to recreate the habit of having at least one training session in Ho Chi Minh City every year like under Mr. Park. Specifically, in the FIFA Days plan in September, the possibility of the Vietnamese team returning to Thong Nhat Stadium is very high.

The Vietnamese team always creates great attraction every time they compete in the South.

This is good news for many fans in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces in the South, because it has been 2 long years since they have seen the team compete at Thong Nhat Stadium.

In fact, the fact that the Vietnamese team does not compete for the South is also a pressure for VFF, because Thong Nhat Stadium is deteriorating and has a capacity of less than 15,000 seats, far behind My Dinh Stadium (40,000), Thien Truong (over 30,000), Lach Tray (20,000)... ensuring economic and sponsorship issues.

It is expected that the Vietnamese team will gather from August 26 to September 11 in Ho Chi Minh City, preparing for two important friendly matches with two very high-quality opponents: Russia (playing on September 5) and especially the highly anticipated rival Thailand (September 10).

According to Thanh Nien Newspaper, negotiations with relevant partners have reached the final stage, promising to give coach Kim Sang-sik a good opportunity to review and test the squad after the first training session in June.

It is known that Coach Kim Sang-sik's philosophy is to promote team spirit, dedication and responsibility with the hope of igniting the fire of dedication in a team that is a mixture of experienced players and some young players who have had the opportunity to practice and test themselves under Mr. Troussier.

For Ho Chi Minh City fans, welcoming the Vietnamese team will be good news to make Thong Nhat Stadium more bustling after witnessing Ho Chi Minh City Club under the leadership of coach Phung Thanh Phuong excellently ranked 4th overall in V-League 2023 - 2024.
