Ha Tinh has a professional football team, will the audience soon be able to watch the Nghe derby?

The Hanoi B team, with a very young squad, most of whom are U.21 players trained by Hanoi FC, will participate in the final round of the U.21 Thanh Nien Newspaper tournament in Hue this November and is facing a brighter prospect than the previous generation team, which was transferred to Saigon. Ha Tinh FC, which will receive the entire team, will have a large investment from the enthusiastic sponsorship of a tycoon determined to become a strong force in the near future of Vietnamese football.

It must be said that Ha Tinh and Hanoi B have made a very quick move and in accordance with the regulations of professional football in Vietnam. That means they can both avoid the situation of two teams with the same owner playing in the V-League next season if Hanoi B wins the play-off match and also avoid the reputation of Mr. Hien, who is considered to be "manipulating" Vietnamese football by sponsoring too much for clubs playing in the highest league in Vietnam.

We are no longer the owners of Hanoi B. As for coach Pham Minh Duc, we will not transfer him but, at Ha Tinh's request, will loan him for about 1 year. Ha Tinh will choose a date to hold the reception ceremony and both sides have also submitted to VFF the relevant documents regarding this transfer."

Thanh Nien sources said that Vingroup, owned by Pham Nhat Vuong, could be a major investor in Ha Tinh. If promoted, Mr. Hien's old team will receive about 70 billion VND to operate for one season. If it remains in the first division, it will receive 40 billion VND.
