SHB Da Nang wants to hire foreign referees, HAGL: I am willing to pay

HAGL will meet SHB Da Nang in round 24 of LPBank V-League 2024/25 at Pleiku Stadium on May 23. The result of the match is of special importance to SHB Da Nang, the team is at the bottom of the rankings and needs to win 3 points to keep the hope of staying in V-League.

The football team associated with the name of owner Do Quang Hien recently requested VPF to hire a foreign FIFA referee to officiate this match to “ensure transparency and objectivity”. This is an unprecedented case because in each round, VPF only chooses “key” matches to hire foreign referees.

SHB Da Nang needs points in the match against HAGL to keep hope of staying in the league alive.

In the case of a team that is almost certain to stay in the league and a team that needs points like HAGL and SHB Da Nang, it is not really in the above category. In addition, hiring foreign referees also depends on the foreign referee schedule, the time of arrangement and allocation to avoid other clubs having objections.

However, HAGL recently sent a document to VPF stating that it welcomed SHB Da Nang's move. HAGL said it fully agreed to invite foreign referees and was willing to bear all costs for the referees to come to Vietnam.
