Recently, Thai media reported that President of the Football Association of Thailand Nualphan Lamsam (also known as "Madam Pang") supported medical expenses for player Nguyen Xuan Son of the Vietnamese team when he was injured in the second leg of the final match against the home team.

Regarding the above information, VFF said that injuries and first aid at the training ground and the field are the responsibility of the team doctor. After that, other activities are all undertaken by the Organizing Committee according to the tournament regulations.

"After the first day at the hospital in Thailand, through professional exchanges and comprehensive assessments, we decided to bring Xuan Son back to Vietnam for continued treatment. The Football Association of Thailand only provides medical services in accordance with the tournament's regulations. The information in the Thai media that Madam Pang supported the medical expenses for player Nguyen Xuan Son is incorrect," said VFF General Secretary Nguyen Van Phu.
