Quite bad, Vietnam team needs to be careful

Difficult for both the home team Laos and the away team Vietnam

In some areas of the field, the grass has not grown, leaving only bare soil. The field is also relatively dry. This can affect the quality of the match. But overall, the quality of the grass at the Laos National Stadium is at a moderate level with the grass cut short.

It is likely that the continuous organization of tournaments in recent times has affected the grass surface of the Lao National Stadium. This is the place chosen to host the qualifying round of the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship, taking place from November 23 to December 5 with the participation of 6 teams including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore and Timor Leste. During this period, 10 matches were played, so it is understandable that the grass surface has deteriorated. Previously, in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, the North Korean team also chose the Lao National Stadium as their home ground.

The Vietnamese team will have a practice session at the Laos National Stadium on the evening of December 8 to prepare for the opening match of the AFF Cup 2024. The match between the two teams will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 9. With the poor pitch, both teams will face difficulties.
