Although it is a national stadium, My Dinh Stadium has been repeatedly complained about the quality of the grass and the degraded facilities, and the lack of investment in repairs and upgrades. In recent tournaments with the participation of the Vietnam National Team, My Dinh National Stadium has not been chosen as the official stadium.

At the ASEAN Cup 2024 - where the Vietnamese team won the championship, the stadium chosen to host matches with the national team is Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho province).
