Also according to announcement No. 1 of the V.League Organizing Committee: Round 2 takes place on March 13, 14 and 15, 2020; Round 3: March 19 and 20, 2020. Depending on the actual situation of Covid-19 prevention and control, the Tournament Management Board will have a specific announcement on whether to welcome spectators in rounds 2 and 3 or not.

Two days ago, VPF decided not to welcome spectators to the National Super Cup match between Ho Chi Minh City Club and Hanoi Club at Thong Nhat Stadium on March 1. This is one of the medical measures to ensure the health of spectators, participating teams as well as members of the Organizing Committee.

The 2020 National Cup will open on March 3. Although the stadiums will not sell tickets or welcome spectators, all matches will be broadcast live by domestic television stations.
