Which localities are included in the list of active V.League 2019 Supporters Associations?
(Baonghean.vn) - Information about the list of 9 fan clubs that were awarded by the V.League 2019 Organizing Committee for their active activities during the season was leaked on November 4. But in the afternoon of the official announcement, 3 more fan clubs, SLNA, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, were added to the list.
First of all, it must be said that this is the season that VPF has shown the most generosity in rewarding the most Fan Clubs, with 12/14 clubs being rewarded. It can be said that the flares are the reason why Nam Dinh and Hai Phong are not on the list above.
Nam Dinh and Hai Phong are absent.
Honestly speaking, except for the flares at Hang Day Stadium that seriously injured a female Hanoi home supporter, the audience in Thanh Nam had a memorable season. In addition to the record number of people coming to the stadium (201,000 people), the cheering, social activities, and community connection of Thanh Nam people are also worth learning from for other associations.

But if VPF does not reward Nam Dinh, it is also reasonable for them, because even though it was just a few individuals who fired fireworks, the consequences were quite severe. The main thing is that the action lasted for a long time, without drastic actions to prevent it, which with a well-organized fan club would not have been allowed to happen. Meanwhile, Hai Phong, as usual, is the club with the most fireworks since V.League 2019.
Surprise reward
VPF rewards 12 fan clubsThere are many positive activities that will surprise many people. At first, people did not know much about the criteria for judging, at first glance it seemed like a list of "no flares", because the Saigon Fan Club had a very small number of spectators coming to the stadium.
There will be many criteria for the award, but we cannot ignore the number of spectators coming to the stadium to cheer for the team. The number of 48,500 spectators for the Saigon team for the entire season, meaning an average of 3,700 spectators coming to the stadium, falling short of the capacity of about 30,000 at Thong Nhat Stadium, with some matches having only 1,000 spectators coming to the stadium. If we subtract the number of invitations, the real number is probably much less...

In fact, it seems that many people understand that this is just a “year-end gift” because many years ago, many fan clubs had no legal status, no headquarters, no leaders. The bonus of 20 million VND had to be held by the club representative because VPF did not know who to give it to. The club took the money home and did not know how to divide it properly, and this reward is probably the same.
In the writer’s opinion, signing the award decision does not mean that VPF has paid attention to fan clubs. It is time for VPF and the clubs to sit down and discuss and build a standard model for professional fans. The distribution of tickets for national team matches should give priority to active members of fan clubs.
Football is just a game after all. But playing it right is not a simple matter, even if it is just praise and rewards, the material value is not great./.
