The Vietnamese team will begin their campaign to win the AFF Cup title with a trip to the Laos National Stadium. The match will take place at 8pm on December 9. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are tasked with winning 3 points to build confidence and excitement for the next stage. This is within the reach of the Vietnamese team, despite the gradual progress of the Lao team, as demonstrated by the 1-1 draw with the Thai team in the FIFA Days series in November.
After that, the Vietnamese team will have a break in the second match before facing the Indonesian team in the third match. This is an advantage because coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will have a lot of data to evaluate and analyze the strength of the archipelago team because they have to compete in the first two matches (against Myanmar and Laos).

Another advantage of the Vietnamese team is that they will play at home. If they have to face the Indonesian team at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Nguyen Tien Linh and his teammates will certainly be under a lot of pressure from 78,000 spectators. The noise from fanatical fan groups like La Grande and Ultras Indonesia is always a big pressure for Indonesian opponents. Fortunately, the Vietnamese team will not have to face Indonesia at the "fire pit" of Gelora Bung Karno early. This match will take place at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ), at 8:00 p.m. on December 15.
On December 18, the Vietnamese team will meet the Philippines at 9 p.m. on December 18 at Rizal Memorial Stadium. After that, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will return to Vietnam to play the final group stage match against Myanmar at 8 p.m. on December 21.
All matches of the Vietnam team at AFF Cup 2024 will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
