In response to information circulating on social media about Vietnamese fans setting off fireworks to disturb the Indonesian team, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has officially spoken out, along with confirmation from the Indonesian team.
Accordingly, VFF affirmed that the image of fireworks posted by an account online caused a misunderstanding, because the location of the fireworks was determined to be about 3km from the Indonesian team's training ground and was not related to the event of the Indonesian team coming to Vietnam to compete on March 26. That is a place for entertainment and fireworks activities are also regularly organized.
Mr. Naufal Laudza - media officer of the Indonesian team said that although a bit tired due to the competition and travel from Jakarta to Hanoi , the whole team was very happy because they were warmly welcomed and had their security and safety ensured.
Regarding the information that Vietnamese fans set off fireworks next to the hotel where the Indonesian team is staying to harass the visiting team, Mr. Naufal Laudza affirmed: “Everything is going very well. We feel very good when staying at the hotel. I also did not hear any noise.”
