OFFICIAL: Assistant Lee Young-jin leads Vietnam U22 team to attend SEA Games 30

V.League 2019 match schedule and live stream on February 23

The three matches on February 23 are all notable with fateful matches. At Vinh Stadium, host SLNA will welcome Quang Nam. The Nghe An team really wants to have a victory in the opening match of V.League 2019 when having the advantage of playing at home.

The second match is a difficult away match for HAGL against the home team Sanna Khanh Hoa. Without the mainstays, it will certainly not be easy for the team from the Mountain City to achieve the best result with the top 3 of V.League 2018.

The most notable match will be the clash between the two candidates for the championship, Hanoi FC and Than Quang Ninh. The strength of Hanoi FC is unquestionable, but Than Quang Ninh is also receiving investments and quality sponsorships to create momentum for the players.

Nam Dinh Club aims for top 10

Nam Dinh entered the 2019 season with many difficulties and at times it seemed that they would not be able to continue playing in the V.League when the team's operating funds were exhausted. This was also the reason why Nam Dinh could not retain Viet Tu, Huu Quy, Van Thuan, Sy Minh - the pillars who showed good form in the 2018 season.
