CAHN Club extends contract with Thanh Long.

Central midfielder Le Pham Thanh Long has reached an agreement to extend his contract with CAHN Club until 2029.

Yesterday, Hanoi Police Club officially announced the completion of contract extension with midfielder Le Pham Thanh Long. Accordingly, the player born in 1996 will continue to stay with the police force club under a contract lasting until 2029.

Successfully retaining midfielder number 11 demonstrates the sustainable development strategy and the goal of maintaining core strength by the club's leadership for the upcoming seasons.

Having grown from the HAGL JMG academy alongside the generation of Nguyen Cong Phuong, Luong Xuan Truong, or Nguyen Tuan Anh, he did not make an early impression. Only when joining CAHN in 2023 did this midfielder truly break out and establish his position.

Cambodian and Thai teams choose Hang Day Stadium for Shopee Cup match.

The ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) has decided to hold the match between Bangkok United and PKR Svay Rieng at Hang Day Stadium.

Initially, the match was scheduled to be held at Morodok Techo Stadium in Phnom Penh. However, Bangkok United firmly refused to travel to Cambodia due to security concerns, so the option of a neutral venue was proposed.

AFF selected Hang Day Stadium, one of the football venues with good facilities in Vietnam, as the alternative location. With modern lighting systems, quality pitch, and professional organizational experience, these are considered factors that led to Hang Day Stadium's selection.

The match between Bangkok United and PKR Svay Rieng will take place at 6:30 PM on April 22. In the upcoming match, Bangkok United is likely not to use its strongest lineup due to focus on AFC Champions League 2 matches.

Thanh Hoa Club suffers squad loss in round 19.

Thanh Hoa Club will not have its strongest squad in round 19 of V-League 2025/2026 as three players are suspended due to accumulating enough yellow cards.

The suspended players include: Doan Ngoc Tan, Damoth Thongkhamsavath, and Doan Ngoc Ha.

In round 19, Thanh Hoa will face SLNA, a team currently performing quite well recently. The absence of players makes the Thanh region team face difficulties in aiming to secure all 3 points at home. The match will take place at 6:00 PM on April 19.

Currently, Thanh Hoa ranks 12th in the V-League standings, only 3 points ahead of the team behind, PVF-CAND.
