Tickets for Vietnam vs Iraq match flooded on 'black market'

The Vietnamese team will face Iraq in the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers at My Dinh Stadium. The match will take place at 7 p.m. on November 21, and promises to be a tense competition as both Vietnam and Iraq have won their opening matches.

While the Vietnamese team won 2-0 against the Philippines away, Iraq also beat Indonesia with a score of 5-1 to take the top spot in the group.

Tickets for the match are priced at VND200,000, VND300,000, VND450,000 and VND600,000 and are currently being sold directly by the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) at the ticket counter at its headquarters. Previously, tickets were also distributed online with two sales rounds on the VinID app.

Fans ask to buy tickets to watch the match between Vietnam and Iraq

Black market tickets are being sold widely online.

"Ticket brokers" appear as soon as someone asks to buy.

According to a survey by Thanh Nien , the "black market" for tickets to watch the Vietnamese team compete has begun to bustle. On forums, many people offer tickets at all prices, including VIP tickets, with home delivery service after successful transactions.

The appearance of "ticket brokers" shows that the heat of the Vietnamese team has increased again. In the last 3 home matches of coach Philippe Troussier and his team, respectively against Hong Kong (Lach Tray) and Syria, Palestine (Thien Truong), although fans still came to the stadium in large numbers, there was no widespread black market ticket situation like now.

It has been a long time since My Dinh Stadium hosted a match for the Vietnamese team (after 10 months). This is the motivation for Mr. Troussier and his team to try harder and win at least 1 point against the strong opponent Iraq.

The Vietnamese team is practicing tactics to prepare for the match against Iraq. Immediately after returning to Vietnam on the night of November 17, the players returned to training. Coach Troussier analyzed for his players the "gaps" encountered in the match against the Philippines, while also studying the opponent and practicing exercises to prevent Iraq's destructive power.

The Iraqi team also arrived in Vietnam early to have time to practice and get used to the cold weather in Hanoi. Coach Jesus Casas remained cautious, asking his players to concentrate because he assessed that the match against Vietnam would be more difficult than the previous match against Indonesia.

The match between Vietnam and Iraq took place on the evening of November 21. This was the last match of FIFA Days for Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates in 2023. The team will prepare for the 2023 Asian Cup right after the match with Iraq. In this tournament, Vietnam is in the same group as Japan, Iraq and Indonesia.
