K-League referee to officiate the big match between Ninh Binh and Ha Noi police club

According to the V-League 2025/2026 Round 16 schedule, the focus of football fans is on the competition between Ninh Binh and Ha Noi police Club taking place at 6:00 PM on March 14th. This is considered a pivotal match, directly affecting the championship ambitions of both teams this season.

To ensure objectivity and accuracy for this important match, the Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) has decided to invite a refereeing team from South Korea. Specifically, referees Kim Woo-sung and Choi Cheol-jun will officiate the match at Ninh Binh Stadium.

The Vietnamese national team chose Thien Truong stadium to host Malaysia.

The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has officially confirmed that the match between Vietnam and Malaysia in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup will be held at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh ward) instead of My Dinh Stadium. This decision was made after a meeting between VFF General Secretary Nguyen Van Phu and leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ninh Binh province.

The choice of Thien Truong Stadium was not only based on its guaranteed infrastructure but also on a strategy to spread the love of football to local communities. With its characteristic passionate atmosphere, Thien Truong Stadium is expected to become a source of moral support to help the head coach and his team overcome pressure.

Notably, ahead of the match on March 31st, former Malaysian striker Safee Sali made statements that created psychological pressure. This expert suggested that it was the Vietnamese team that felt more apprehensive and under more pressure before this rematch. This is seen as a familiar psychological tactic from the opponent before every crucial match.
