Fans fill up the My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi at the match between Vietnam and Malaysia on November 16 (Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) -The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has confirmed that all 14,000 tickets forthe match between Vietnam and Cambodia in Group A of the ASEAN FootballFederation (AFF) Suzuki Cup 2018 have been sold.
The match will take place at Hang Day Stadium on November 24 instead of My DinhNational Stadium, which is preparing for the opening ceremony of the NationalSports Games on November 25.
However, according to VFF General Secretary Le Hoai Anh, the federation onlysold 14,000 tickets compared to the capacity of 20,000 seats of Hang Day Stadiumin Hanoi.
The reason is the quality of the stadium is downgraded. Besides, it has largebillboards in D Stand so the VFF didn’t sell tickets for this area.
Tickets are sold for 100,000 VND (4.3 USD), 200,000 VND (8.7 USD) and 300,000 VND(13 USD).
Fans often set off flares at Hang Day Stadium in the national premier league,so the VFF said security would be enhanced for the match.
