K+ Television will broadcast all 51 matches of the 2023 Asian Cup and support the Vietnamese national team in their hopes of advancing to the next round.

A representative from K+ Television stated that over the years, the company has always stood by and supported the Vietnamese national team's dream of conquering the continental stage. The platform and fans will fuel the Golden Star Warriors on their promising journey at the 2023 Asian Cup. Specifically, viewers can watch all 51 matches on VTV channels via the K+ system.

According to AFC representatives, the Vietnamese national team is heading to the 2023 Asian Cup with the goal of replicating their quarter-final achievement from 2019. Coach Philippe Troussier and his players are in Group D along with Japan, Indonesia, and Iraq.

In their opening match against Japan – the reigning runners-up and the top team in Asia – on January 14th, the Vietnamese team displayed a positive performance, playing confidently, boldly launching attacks, and even avoiding a yellow card despite the opponent's pressure. Ultimately, Philippe Troussier's players lost 2-4, having led Japan 2-1 at one point in the first half.

The courageous spirit of the Vietnamese national team received a "shower" of praise from Asian football fans, including Japanese stars like Takefusa Kubo and Takumi Minamino. Masatada Ishii, head coach of the Thai national team, also highly appreciated the performance of the Golden Star Warriors, considering it an example for Thailand to follow.

The following day, Indonesia lost 1-3 to Iraq in their opening match, temporarily placing them below Vietnam due to an inferior goal difference. On January 19th, Vietnam will face Indonesia and Iraq will clash with Japan, determining the rankings in Group D. The final match on January 24th will see Vietnam play Iraq.
