This number is calculated by experts to be still quite cheap compared to the record advertising revenue that VTV set at the 2014 World Cup and the semi-finals and finals of the U-23 Asian Cup with the Vietnamese team participating.
Accordingly, the quarter-finals, semi-finals and third place matches of the 2014 World Cup are 250-300 million VND per 30-second block.
For the 2014 World Cup final, a 15-second block is 270 million VND, and a 30-second block is 350 million VND. And for the U-23 Asia final between Vietnam and Uzbekistan, it is 300 million VND for a 30-second block.
