Earlier, on the morning of November 24, the Vietnamese team had a physical training session on the artificial turf field of Smart AirDome Gyeong Ju - the most modern dome stadium in Korea, which was put into use in April last year. Photo: VFF

The stadium is covered by a giant dome with a very modern heating, cooling and air circulation system. Thanks to this technology, the temperature in the stadium is always guaranteed at 26 degrees Celsius in the summer and 18 degrees Celsius in the winter, with humidity maintained at 50%. Photo: VFF

This condition has helped players to practice comfortably at any time of the year, regardless of the hot summer weather or cold winter weather. Photo: VFF

Experiencing such an ideal training environment for the first time, the players were very excited and had no difficulty "swallowing" the training program of fitness expert Cedric Roger, especially the short and medium distance speed exercises. Photo: VFF

In addition, the players will continue to be equipped with GPS chip-equipped shirts to help the coaching staff collect and analyze biological data and information about the running process, distance traveled, location, acceleration, heart rate, and health status of each player, thereby making appropriate adjustments.
