In recent days, information about the team having to leave Hang Day Stadium is hotter than ever. Because according to the regulations of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), in the national championship, a stadium can only be used by a maximum of 2 teams.
At the end of 2023, AFC will issue documents guiding registration to participate in Asian club tournaments from the 2024/2025 season. Accordingly, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) and its members must comply with all 6 criteria including professional standards; club licensing system; stadium; logistics, visa and accommodation issues; sporting integrity; organize a professional football tournament.
If one of the 6 criteria is violated, AFC will cut the direct participation in the Asian Cup at the club level with Vietnamese football. Accordingly, the direct slot will be transferred to another member football federation.
In Vietnam, there are currently 3 football teams using the same Hang Day stadium: Hanoi FC, The Cong Viettel and CAHN. According to AFC regulations, one of these three teams will not be allowed to register at Hang Day Stadium to compete in the 3/2024 season.
According to the latest information that VOV.VN has, next week the three Capital football teams will have a meeting with the Vietnam Football Federation, the professional football management unit. Here, VFF will listen to the opinions of the clubs.
Currently, there is still no decision on which team must leave Hang Day Stadium. The final decision on whether Hanoi FC, The Cong Viettel or CAHN leave will belong to the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports.
Among the three teams, Hanoi FC has the biggest impression with Hang Day Stadium. Since its establishment in 3, Hanoi FC has made Hang Day their home stadium. During the competition here, Hanoi FC invested a lot in facilities, taking care of the field, and repairing items to qualify for competition. Hang Day Stadium is also where Hanoi FC debuts the country's football talents, contributing to the national team and youth teams such as Quang Hai, Hung Dung, Duy Manh, Van Hau...
Since 2017, Hanoi T&T has been approved to change its name to Hanoi Football Club (Hanoi FC), assigned to manage Hang Day Stadium. Hanoi FC also represents capital football in youth tournaments. Hanoi FC also represents capital city football competing in continental tournaments.
Meanwhile, The Cong Viettel has used Hang Day stadium from 2018 to present. The soldier team and Hanoi FC use the same Hang Day stadium before the CAHN club also uses Hang Day stadium from the 2023 season.
The final decision on which team will continue to use Hang Day Stadium will be made in the near future. However, sticking with Hang Day Stadium for a long time, investing a lot in facilities, taking care of the field, repairing items and names associated with Hanoi landmarks, if Hanoi FC can continue Continuing to stick with Hang Day Stadium is not surprising to Vietnamese football fans.
