Foreign referees often play the main match in the V-League in recent seasons
Round 10 and 11 V-League 2023 will take place within a week, so Vietnam Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) will cooperate with a team of foreign referees to reduce the pressure on the "black kings" in the country. . As planned, 3 key matches in the next two rounds will be operated by foreign referees.
In the 11th round of the V-League 2023, the competition between Thanh Hoa East Asia Club - Hanoi Public Security Club was competitive for the first place in the group and the match between two teams in the "red light" group was B.Binh Duong Club - SHB Da Nang Club will have a foreign referee to run.
Previously, the highlight match of the 10th round between Ho Chi Minh City Club and SHB Da Nang - two teams competing for relegation - on May 31 will also be moderated by Thai referee Mongkolchai Pechsri. Currently, the "red battleship" is at the bottom of the rankings and is only 5 point behind the Han River team after 1 rounds.
Thai referee Mongkolchai Pechsri is no stranger to Vietnamese football
The V-League is "heating up" through each round at the end of phase 1, but the domestic "black kings" still have many mistakes when on duty. In the 9th round, border referee Nguyen Thanh Son made a serious mistake, affecting the final result when he denied a valid goal of Song Lam Nghe An Club in the competition of Hanoi Public Security Club, causing the team to win. Nghe received a final 1-2 defeat.
According to the plan, VAR technology will be applied in the V-League from the 2023-2024 season. The tournament organizers are rushing to implement it on schedule, including opening the VAR referee training course and importing VAR equipment according to FIFA standards.
