No flares at AFF Cup matches: Vietnamese footballers
VOV.VN - Vietnamese football players have called their fans to stop setting off flares at ongoing AFF Cup 2018.
 |
| The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has implemented different measures to tackle the setting off of flares but all their efforts were in vain. |
 |
| In the previous match between Vietnam and Malaysia at My Dinh National Stadium, at least 6 flares were set off in the stands by a group of high-spirited Vietnamese fans. |
 |
| It took Vietnamese security guards a lot of time to put it under control. |
 |
| As a result, VFF could be fined for the fans’ behavior. |
 |
| The Vietnam’s national football team could also face off a scenario that no Vietnamese fan is allowed to attend their match. |
 |
| The banning of Vietnamese fans at such games might be issued, even when they are hosted in Vietnam. |
 |
| Recently, a number of Vietnamese footballers including Quang Hai, Ha Duc Chinh and Bui Tien Dung, shared a Facebook status calling on Vietnamese supporters to stop lighting flares in the upcoming match against Cambodia at Hang Day Stadium on November 24. |
 |
| VFF has recently been fined about VND300 million (US$12,500) after a Vietnamese fan lighted flares at the Asiad 2018 semifinal game between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea. |
