The winners will take home 80 million VND (4,200 USD). The runners-up will pocket 60 million VND (3,100 USD) million and 30 million VND (1,570 VND) respectively.
Defending champions Hanoi Trang An 1, formed by a merger of Hanoi and the former Ha Tay team, are favoured to retain the cup. They have seven players from the national team which won gold in the women’s football at the Southeast Asian Games in Laos last December.
However, Hanoi 1 will miss 2008 Golden Ball winner striker Do Thị Ngoc Cham, out injured untill about May.
