My Dinh Stadium is undergoing excavation and upgrading of its drainage system.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - My Dinh Stadium is undergoing a comprehensive renovation. The focus of the project is not only on renewing the turf but also on upgrading and rebuilding the entire drainage system and the stadium's foundation.

The serious deterioration of the My Dinh National Stadium ( Hanoi ) has become a persistent problem, attracting public attention for a long time.

The culmination of this decline was the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) being forced to make the decision that it could no longer host the Vietnamese national team's home matches at the My Dinh Stadium after the 2024 AFF Cup.

The ongoing comprehensive renovation is the biggest upgrade to the stadium since the 31st SEA Games. Construction is expected to last more than three months. During this time, My Dinh Stadium will temporarily suspend all sporting , entertainment, and performance activities.

According to Dan Tri reporters, the pitch will be dug 40-50cm deeper to rebuild the drainage system to address flooding issues, and the grass irrigation system will also be upgraded so that My Dinh Stadium can return to its best appearance and quality.
