The ASEAN Football website, which specializes in Southeast Asian football, reported: "Vietnamese football fans spent the night outside Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ), waiting to buy tickets to watch the second leg of the 2024 AFF Cup semi-final between the Vietnamese team and Singapore."
“They waited with excitement. Many fans brought blankets and mats to sleep overnight in areas near Viet Tri Stadium from the evening of December 26,” ASEAN Football added.
Fans sleeping overnight near football match venues, waiting to buy tickets, is not a common phenomenon in other countries around the world .
This phenomenon shows that the passion for football of Vietnamese fans is very great, and at the same time, the attraction of the second leg of the semi-final between the Vietnamese team and Singapore is still very high, even though the team of coach Kim Sang Sik (Korean) led the Lion team by 2 goals.
ASEAN Football page continued to inform about the sale and purchase of tickets for the second leg of the semi-final in Vietnam: "Tickets for the second leg of the semi-final were only sold directly from 8am yesterday, December 27, in front of Viet Tri Stadium in Phu Tho, while fans waited from the night before."
“VFF also ensures that there are tickets for Singaporean away fans, ensuring space for away fans to support the Lion Island team,” ASEAN Football confirmed.
Meanwhile, CNN Indonesia commented: "The Vietnamese team is preparing to welcome the Singapore team in the second leg of the semi-final at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho), where the home team always receives enthusiastic support from home fans."
Regarding the technical part of the second leg of the semi-final, CNN Indonesia gave a conclusion, as if to implicitly remind the Singapore team: "The Vietnamese team has a rather special scoring tendency in this year's tournament, which is to score and defeat the opponent in the second half of each match."
“In the first leg of the semi-final at Jalan Besar Stadium, the Vietnamese team struggled against Singapore in the first half, but they still won 2-0 at the end of the second half.
Throughout the team's journey in the group stage, they have never scored a goal in the first half. All of the goals of the Vietnamese team up to this point in the 2024 AFF Cup have come in the second half," are still the lines written on the newspaper page of the archipelago country.
As for the official fanpage of the Football Association of Singapore (FAS), they continue to call on football fans in this country to bring inspiration to the team of coach Tsutomu Ogura (Japanese), before the second leg of the semi-final.
FAS's fanpage wrote: "We will bring the energy of the fans to Vietnam. Thank you to the fans who always stand by the Singapore team. Your support gives us more spiritual motivation."
Previously, the Singapore Football Federation said it would provide free tickets to Singaporean spectators who come to Viet Tri Stadium to watch the second leg of the semi-final on the evening of December 29: “Each person will be given a maximum of 4 tickets. Due to limited quantity, those who register with FAS in advance will be given priority to get tickets first.”
The second leg of the semi-final will take place at 8pm on December 29 at Viet Tri Stadium. It was not until last night (December 27) that the two teams participating in this match, Vietnam and Singapore, arrived in Hanoi . Immediately afterwards, the two teams immediately moved from Hanoi to Viet Tri to prepare for the match.
