Vietnam vs Thailand: 2026 ASEAN Cup final second leg
Vietnam and Thailand are set to face each other in the second leg of the 2026 ASEAN Cup final at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi on August 26. Vietnam holds a 2-0 aggregate lead following the first leg in Bangkok, where goals from Nguyen Hai Long and Nguyen Quang Hai secured their advantage.
Vietnam coach Kim Sang-sik has urged his players to remain focused, warning against complacency despite the two-goal cushion. Thailand, led by coach Anthony Hudson, faces a difficult task, needing to win by at least three goals to secure the championship outright.
The match is expected to be a high-profile event, with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Thai Football Association President Nualphan Lamsam (Madam Pang) both slated to attend. Due to the anticipated large crowds, Hanoi police have announced traffic diversions and restrictions for heavy vehicles and large buses around the My Dinh area starting from 2:00 pm on the day of the match.
Ticket demand has been exceptionally high, with black market prices for premium seating reaching up to 11 million VND per pair.
