Ha Dong Stadium is not 'old' enough to play in V-League, no team has been decided yet to leave Hang Day

As Thanh Nien has reported many times, at the end of 2023, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) received a dispatch from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) requesting that VFF implement regulations on criteria for organizing professional football tournaments. According to AFC, the national championship must be organized in a home-away format and only allows a maximum of 2 clubs to share a stadium. If 3 clubs continue to share a stadium in the 2023-2024 season, VFF will not be eligible to be allocated a direct slot by AFC to participate in Asian club tournaments from the 2024-2025 season and the following seasons. That direct slot will be transferred by AFC to another member federation.

In Vietnam, there is currently a situation where 3 teams choose the same stadium as their home stadium in the V-League. Hang Day Stadium is currently the home stadium of 3 clubs including Hanoi , Hanoi Police Club and Viettel The Cong. These three clubs are not the owners of Hang Day Stadium, but the stadium is managed by the Hanoi People's Committee and assigned to the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports.

In recent days, there has been a rumor that the Hanoi team may choose Ha Dong Stadium as their home stadium instead of Hang Day Stadium. However, this is incorrect information. Sharing with Thanh Nien , a member of the tournament's organizing committee said: "We have not been informed about this issue. The final decision on which team must leave Hang Day Stadium is not made by the VFF or the tournament's organizing committee, but by the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports. Objectively, I think that perhaps Ha Dong Stadium will be difficult for any of the three teams in the capital to choose as their home stadium, because the facilities here are not guaranteed. In my opinion, any team that leaves Hang Day Stadium will choose My Dinh Stadium."

It is known that next week, the three football teams Hanoi FC, Hanoi Police, and Viettel The Cong will have a meeting with VFF to listen to the opinions, thoughts, and aspirations of the three teams. Among the three teams, Hanoi FC has the biggest mark on Hang Day Stadium. When talking about Hang Day, we are talking about Hanoi FC. Since its establishment in 2006, Hanoi FC has taken Hang Day as its home stadium. During the competition here, Hanoi FC has invested a lot in facilities, field care, and renovations. Since 2017, Hanoi T&T has been approved to change its name to Hanoi Football Club (Hanoi FC). However, the Hanoi Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism will give its final opinion on which team is forced to leave Hang Day Stadium, according to the AFC's recommendation.

 Hanoi Club welcomes "genuine" new recruit
 Hanoi FC's defense will be strengthened by a defender of Luxembourg nationality. 

 Head coach Daiki Iwamasa's concerns about stopping the opposition's attacks have been somewhat alleviated, as defender Tim Hall has passed a medical and signed a one-year contract with the capital club. 
 The player born in 1997 is 1.90 m tall and can play in many different positions such as central defender or defensive midfielder. Before moving to Hanoi, Tim Hall played in the national championships of Portugal, Ukraine and Hungary and had 4 caps for the Luxembourg national team. Most recently, the 27-year-old defender played 16 matches and 1085 minutes for Ujpest Club - a team playing in Hungary's highest league.
 Tim Hall shared his feelings on the first day of joining: "This is my first time in Asia, perhaps the invitation of the purple team attracted me to be here. I am excited to achieve titles, I know that to do that is not simple, I need to make an effort to contribute with my teammates. I feel the team is a great collective."
