According to the announcement from VPF, the match between Hanoi FC and Hai Phong will have VAR. This match will take place at 7:15 p.m. on August 2 at Hang Day Stadium, in round 4 of phase 2.V.League 2023. This is the second match of VAR in V-League 2023. Previously, VAR appeared in the match between Viettel and Hong Linh Ha Tinh also at Hang Day Stadium. This match lasted more than 100 minutes because the referee spent a lot of time consulting VAR.

Also according to the announcement from the Organizing Committee, VAR will be applied from 3 to 5 matches in phase 2 of V.League 2023. This technology will be applied in matches that are not stressful, affecting the championship race as well as the relegation battle.

Vietnam women's team plays Netherlands at world's first indoor stadium

The Vietnamese women's team had a great experience when competing with the current runner-up Netherlands in a fully covered and enclosed stadium.

Notably, because Dunedin city has a relatively low temperature compared to other locations in New Zealand, the match between the Vietnamese women's team and the Netherlands took place at the Dunedin indoor stadium.

Dunedin Stadium is the first stadium in the world with a fully covered roof, creating a closed space, ensuring favorable conditions for players to compete in the cold and rainy winter here.

Liverpool make surprise offer to Mbappe

Mbappe's future is receiving great attention from fans and experts after the striker announced that he will not renew his contract with PSG when the contract between the two parties expires.

Mbappe's contract with PSG only has one year left, so if he doesn't sell the striker, the French football giant will lose their star for free next summer.

To avoid losing the star they spent a lot of money to bring back, PSG is looking for every way to sell Kylian Mbappe this summer and also clearly showing their attitude by removing him from the pre-season tour list.

A few weeks ago, Al-Hilal sent an offer of 300 million euros to buy Mbappe. PSG immediately agreed but the 24-year-old striker refused and was willing to be a reserve at PSG to receive the remaining loyalty money before moving to Real.

Faced with the prospect of not getting a single penny from Mbappe, PSG unexpectedly accepted an offer from Liverpool. According to Mirror, Liverpool wants to recruit Mbappe on a 1-year loan and will pay a significant fee to PSG.

This offer is considered beneficial for both sides at the moment as it helps Liverpool have another quality star in attack while PSG receives a significant amount of money and Mbappe leaves Paris, plays regularly in a quality tournament before joining Real Madrid next year.

Coach Kiatisak reveals Hoang Anh Gia Lai's goal

Sharing after the match with SHB Da Nang, coach Kiatisak said: "In the first 2 rounds of phase 2, we played 2 matches and got 6 points. The problem is how to maintain such stable performance. And today we did it, I am really happy. Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club still has the goal of finishing at the top of Group B, must play dedicatedly for the home audience and respect the opponent."

When asked about the goals of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club in the next season, the Thai strategist said: "Currently, it is difficult to say what the team will be like in the new season. In previous years, when there were key players, many names in the national team, Hoang Anh Gia Lai still struggled, the ranking was not high. After the end of the 2023 season, I will sit down and talk with Mr. Duc to come up with a list of personnel for the next season, then we can talk. For now, the team will focus on the final matches of V-League 2023", said coach Kiatisak.
