V.League 2025/26 Round 1 Match Schedule: Hot Capital Derby, Waiting for Newcomer Ninh Binh to Take the Field

VHO - The highlight of the opening round of V.League 2025/26 must certainly be the heated match between CAHN and The Cong at Hang Day on the evening of August 15. Because beyond the simple meaning of 3 points or expertise, the capital derby also carries the mark of honor, the desire to show the strength and ambition of the two championship candidates.

Before the new season, CAHN and The Cong both had very impressive preparations. A series of high-quality and potential new players were recruited, including foreign players, domestic players and overseas Vietnamese players, helping the team, which was already considered a prestigious team in the domestic arena, become even more combative.

In the last 8 encounters between the two sides, The Cong has the better head-to-head statistics with 5 wins and 3 losses.

However, in both of their most recent encounters with CAHN, the army team suffered defeat. The upcoming rematch promises to bring a vibrant football party, signaling an exciting and dramatic season.

One day after the opening match, fans will turn their attention to the debut of defending champion Nam Dinh . Coach Vu Hong Viet and his team will play at the "fire pit" Thien Truong to welcome Hai Phong.

This is a match where Nam Dinh is rated higher but cannot be subjective because the guests from the land possess a very unpredictable playing style under the reign of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem.

Going south, the match between the host CA TP.HCM and Hanoi FC is also worth waiting for. After being transferred to the police force, the football team of the city named after Uncle Ho has made very strong investments.

Welcoming the championship candidate from the capital is considered a strong enough test for the ambition of Coach Le Huynh Duc and his team to reach new heights.

On the afternoon of August 17, V.League football fields continued to be bustling with the remaining 4 matches of round 1. In Pleiku, HAGL will host Becamex TP.HCM (formerly Binh Duong ).

After a rather gloomy transfer season, the team from the Mountain City promises to face many challenges to maintain a good head-to-head record against the visitors from Thu Dau Mot.

The performances of the two rookie teams, Ninh Binh FC and PVF-CAND, are also very much in demand. Among them, Mr. Thuy's team with its strong investment plans in personnel can completely create a surprise in the trip to Ha Tinh stadium.

For their part, PVF-CAND's chance to earn points is not small because they only have to host SLNA, a team that struggled to stay in the league last season.

At Thanh Hoa Stadium, the home team also has the opportunity to pocket 3 points if they play well against Da Nang.
