On the evening of July 27, the Vietnamese reporter team working at the 2025 Southeast Asian U.23 Championship had a friendly match with the Indonesian reporter team. In the end, the away team won 10-5.

2 hours of stress

After all Vietnamese reporters completed their reporting duties on the U.23 Vietnam team's training session at Madya Stadium on the evening of July 27, the entire team moved to a 7-a-side artificial turf field, about 12 km from Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

In this match, the Vietnamese reporter team was supplemented by 2 "foreign soldiers" from Astro Malaysia TV station. Thanks to that, the whole team had enough strength to "fight" with 2 teams of Indonesian reporters for 2 hours of tension, with many beautiful moves.

In the end, the Vietnamese reporters won 10-5 thanks to a more cohesive and tight game. This was the second consecutive time the away team defeated the home team. In the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Indonesia, the Vietnamese reporters also won 1-0.

Meaningful match

This is a meaningful exchange activity, contributing to strengthening the friendship between reporters of the two countries. This tradition has been maintained for the past 2 years, every time Vietnamese reporters go to Indonesia to work and vice versa.

Reporter Muhammad Pratama of Bolanet24.com , Indonesia, shared: "Friendly matches between reporters are a regular event held whenever a team comes here as a guest. Previously, we played against Japanese reporters. In this match, we called the Vietnamese reporter team ASEAN All Stars because there were Vietnamese and Malaysian reporters. This match is important to us. We want you to come here not only to work, but also to enjoy happy moments like this so that we can strengthen our friendship."

The friendly match between reporters is not only a simple sporting activity but also has great significance, contributing to building solidarity and connection between countries in the region.
