The Vietnamese team was warmly welcomed in Laos.

On the afternoon of December 6, the Vietnamese team arrived in Vientiane to prepare for the opening match in Group B, ASEAN Cup 2024 against Laos. Many Vietnamese fans in Laos came to the airport to welcome coach Kim Sang-sik and his team.

After only a short 55-minute flight from Hanoi, the Vietnamese team arrived in Vientiane (Laos) in a relaxed mood. The time for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team to enter the country and collect their luggage at Wattay International Airport did not take too long, as the host Laos facilitated it.

A large number of Vietnamese fans wearing red shirts with yellow stars or traditional long dresses with red and yellow stars came to the airport to welcome the Vietnamese team. They carried banners with the words "Vietnamese community in Vientiane Capital, accompanying the Vietnamese team to conquer AFF CUP 2024".

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huyen - Chief of Office of the Vietnamese Association in Laos said: ''When we heard that the Vietnamese team would play the opening match of the ASEAN Cup 2024 in Laos, the Vietnamese people here were very excited. The Vietnamese Association in Laos also met to discuss and implement a cheering plan. In addition to the media calling on everyone to buy tickets, the Association also coordinated with the Fan Association from Vietnam to organize a parade and "fueling" activities for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team.

The fans also warmed the hearts of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team by giving them bouquets of flowers and wishes for victory. After settling down, the Vietnamese team will have their first training session at the auxiliary training ground, the Laos National Stadium./.
