Breaking Vietnamese football news for July 29: Tickets for the Vietnam vs Singapore game are 'scorching'; Nam Dinh presents Austrian-Vietnamese player.

Tickets for Vietnam vs Singapore match 'hot' just before kickoff.

With only a few days left before hosting Singapore at My Dinh Stadium in Group A of the 2026 ASEAN Cup, the ticket market for watching the Vietnam national team play is heating up.

Alongside the large number of fans buying tickets through the official channel of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), the resale market is also bustling, with prices significantly higher than the face value.

Tickets worth 500,000 VND are being offered by many sellers at around 900,000 VND, nearly double the original price.

Tickets priced at 400,000 VND range from 600,000 to 700,000 VND. The two categories of 200,000 VND and 300,000 VND are also being sold at a markup of around 100,000 VND per ticket, depending on the stand location and buyer demand.

The appeal of the match has led many fans to accept buying tickets at inflated prices just to have a chance to cheer for coach Kim Sang Sik's team on their return to My Dinh Stadium.

Transactions through unofficial channels also come with risks such as fake tickets or fraud. Therefore, fans are advised to prioritize buying tickets from official distribution channels or to carefully verify information before making a transaction.

Thép Xanh Nam Dinh introduces Austrian-Vietnamese player.

Thép Xanh Nam Dinh Club officially announced the signing of Austrian-Vietnamese player Van-Alessandro Nguyen Skyriotis.

He is the third Vietnamese overseas player to join the southern team during the transfer window ahead of the 2026/27 season, highlighting the determination of the former V.League champions to strengthen their squad depth.

Van-Alessandro Nguyen Skyriotis possesses both Vietnamese and Austrian heritage, born and raised in Austria. He plays as a midfielder and is regarded as having a solid technical foundation along with the ability to adapt to various roles in the midfield.

Nam Dinh's management hopes the new recruit will quickly integrate and contribute to the club's goal of competing for titles in the new season.

Before Van-Alessandro Nguyen Skyriotis, Thép Xanh Nam Dinh had already signed two other Vietnamese overseas players: Reece Minh-Kai and Tyler James Thai Crawford.

This continuous addition of quality players demonstrates that the team based at Thien Truong Stadium is actively preparing its squad to aim for the V-League 2026/27 championship.

Singapore national team arrives in Hanoi.

On the afternoon of July 28, the Singapore national team arrived in Hanoi to prepare for their upcoming match against Vietnam in the next round of Group A of the 2026 ASEAN Cup at My Dinh Stadium on July 31.

After two consecutive wins against Cambodia and Timor Leste, coach Gavin Lee's team temporarily leads the group with 6 points, three points ahead of Vietnam but having played one more match.

Singapore's notable strength continues to lie in their physical foundation, powerful playing style, and ability to capitalize on set-piece situations.

The Lion Island team also possesses quality naturalized players like Kyoga Nakamura and Song Ui-young.

Striker Ilhan Fandi is also a name to watch closely, having scored two goals in two matches, making him a dangerous spearhead in attack.

The Vietnam national team is still considered slightly superior due to their technical quality, tactical diversity, and the advantage of having more rest time for preparation.

The showdown at My Dinh Stadium is expected to significantly determine the race for the top spot in Group A and the ticket to the semifinals of the 2026 ASEAN Cup.
