Hanoi (VNA) – Headcoach of the Vietnamese national men’s football team Park Hang-seo hasbeen fined 5,000 USD and banned from directing the team in four friendly matchesfor his complaint to the referee at SEA Games 30 in the Philippines in December last year.

According to the Vietnam Football Federation(VFF), the decision was announced by the Asian FootballConfederation (AFC) on February 10 as a punishmentfor the red card shown by the head coach in the 77th minute of the finalmatch between Vietnam’s U22 team and Indonesia’s.

The AFC also warned that Park could face heavier penalties if similaractions were repeated in the future.
As the SEA Games football does not belong to thecompetition system of the world football governing body FIFA and AFC,  thepenalty is only applicable to friendly matches.

The decision allows the coach to manage the teamduring official tournaments like the World Cup 2022 qualifiers in March.

Vietnam will play a friendly against Iraq on March 26, before their 2022World Cup qualifier match against Malaysia on March 31./.
