Vietnam vs Cambodia ASEAN Cup

Overview

On 4 August 2026 Vietnam, top of Group A, was set to meet Cambodia at Hanoi’s My Dinh Stadium in the ASEAN Cup group stage, with Hong Kong referee Cheung Wai Lung appointed. The following day ticket demand exploded. The Vietnam Football Federation opened on‑site sales at its Hanoi headquarters, offering four price tiers (VND 200‑500 k) across morning, afternoon and a match‑day window. Fans arrived from early morning; one supporter travelled from Bac Ninh at 5 a.m., waited five hours and secured seven tickets. Queues persisted throughout the day as many could not obtain tickets online. A secondary market quickly formed, with resale prices 100‑200 k VND above face value, especially for premium sections, and reports of scams and counterfeit tickets prompted officials to warn fans to buy only through official channels. Security rules barred weapons and fireworks at the stadium, where the match was scheduled for 20:00 on 7 August. Vietnam leads Group A with seven points and needs a win to guarantee the top spot and a semi‑final berth.
