FIFA issues "strange" regulations, Vietnam team's match suddenly changes

This October, the Vietnamese team has 3 friendly matches with China (October 10), Uzbekistan (October 13) and South Korea (October 17).

Vietnam team participates in 3 friendly matches in October 2023.

But according to the regulations of the World Football Federation (FIFA), during each FIFA Days, a team can only play a maximum of 2 friendly matches.

Therefore, 1 of the 3 upcoming friendly matches of the Vietnam team will not be counted for FIFA points.

Accordingly, the Vietnamese team recently decided to choose the match against Uzbekistan as an unofficial friendly match.

Currently, the Uzbekistan team's leadership also agrees with Vietnam's point of view.

In addition, both sides also agreed to organize the match without spectators and the media will not be allowed to work.

This match will be an opportunity for both teams to test their lineups and tactics.

Meanwhile, the two matches with China and South Korea will still take place normally and count for FIFA points.

On October 7, Coach Troussier announced the list of 28 players who will join the Vietnamese team to participate in a series of friendly matches in October.

By dawn on October 8, coach Troussier and his team left Vietnam for China.

As planned, on the evening of October 8, the Vietnamese team will begin training again to prepare for the match against the Chinese team.
