Hanoi (VNA) - Next Media has won the broadcast rights for the fourmatches of Vietnam's qualification campaign for the 2022 World Cup to be playedon home turf.

The matches are against Malaysia on October 10, the UAE on November 14,Thailand on November 19 and Indonesia on June 4, 2020.

Vietnam Television is negotiating to buy the broadcast rights of the fourmatches played on away ground.

The national team was set to have just four days to prepare for their firstmatch against arch-rival Thailand on September 5 because the V. League’s 23rdround ends on September 1.

As result, the Vietnam Football Federation and the Vietnam ProfessionalFootball Company which manages the tournament agreed on July 24 to postpone theV. League matches to another day, giving players more time to rest and train.

The change means the league will wrap up later than planned and the timeallotted for the U22 team to prepare for November’s SEA Games will beshortened.
