(Baonghean.vn) - To prevent any negative events that may occur in the last two rounds, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) and Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) have taken specific actions.

With only 2 more rounds, the 2017 Vietnam National Football Championship (V.League) will come to an end and the final rounds are expected to be fierce, surprising, and have an impact on the rankings of the teams.

Currently, Long An Club has officially been relegated from V.League 2 rounds before. Meanwhile, Quang Nam Club is dominating the V.League rankings with 54 points. The two teams still capable of competing for the championship are Hanoi Club and FLC Thanh Hoa with 42 points.

Accordingly, the tournament organizer, Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), invited foreign referees to officiate the penultimate matches to prevent "firewood". Not only that, the Vietnam Football Federation also showed specific moves in preventing possible negativity.

On the homepage of the Vietnam Football Federation today (October 11), an announcement was made: "Due to the importance of rounds 25 and 26, the Vietnam Football Federation has sent a dispatch to the Criminal Police Department (C45) - Ministry of Public Security requesting support to ensure security, safety and prevent possible negative events. Specifically, the Vietnam Football Federation has invited C45 to attend some important matches of each round.

This is not the first time the Vietnam Football Federation has invited C45 to support security, safety and corruption prevention. Since 2008, the Vietnam Football Federation and the Criminal Police Department (C45) have had a Coordination Regulation on corruption prevention in football, including professional football tournaments."

In round 25 of V.League taking place on November 19, Quang Nam Club will visit Hanoi Club at Hang Day Stadium. Meanwhile, FLC Thanh Hoa will welcome S. Khanh Hoa BVN.

In the final round, Quang Nam will host Ho Chi Minh City FC at home, while Hanoi FC will face Than Quang Ninh at Cam Pha Stadium. On the same day, November 25, FLC Thanh Hoa will play away at Vinh Stadium against Song Lam Nghe An FC./.
