VOV.VN - The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has decided to relocate the second leg of the National Women’s Football Championship 2020 from Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh city to Go Dau stadium in Binh Duong province amid COVID-19 concerns in the southern metropolis.
The second leg of the tournament had originally been scheduled to take place at Thong Nhat Stadium between November 20 and December 13.
However, with four new COVID-19 cases detected locally, there has been growing worries about the safety of the event among the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) and the competition’s organising board.
According to the schedule, three last rounds of the tournament are set to be played at Go Dau Stadium in Binh Duong province as opposed to Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City.
Incumbent champions HCM City I FC are leading the table with 31 points, two points ahead of second-placed Hanoi I FC.
