Round 14 witnessed the confrontation between the two teams ranked first and second in the V.League 2022 rankings, Song Lam Nghe An and Hanoi FC. The match attracted great attention from Nghe An fans, because in addition to witnessing the top stars of Vietnamese football show their talents on the field, this was also an opportunity for Song Lam Nghe An to reclaim the debt from 3 rounds ago at Hang Day. The meeting between these two fateful opponents created a ticket fever at Vinh Stadium.

Since morning, long lines of fans have been lining up to find a suitable spot to watch the match. Stands A and B are the areas most chosen by fans. By the end of the afternoon on August 26, these two stands were officially "sold out".

A representative of Song Lam Nghe An media said: "The estimated number of seats at gates A1, A2, A3 is 5,000, and stand B is about 3,300. We started selling tickets directly from the morning of August 25, but by about 12:00 on August 26, all tickets at these stands had been sold out. In addition to selling tickets in the traditional way, Song Lam Nghe An Club has also implemented online ticket sales since August 22."

Most of the seats in the B stand will be reserved for the Song Lam Nghe An Supporters' Association. These fans will be given free tickets, but must comply with some of the association's regulations such as: wearing yellow shirts when entering the stadium, holding flags or banners and cheering for the entire 90 minutes...

Tickets for stands C and D alone were almost sold out as of 4 p.m. on August 26. The number of seats in this area is estimated at over 4,000. However, the stadium organizers still reserved a large enough space to welcome students to watch and cheer for the Song Lam Nghe An team.

This is the first time this season that tickets have been sold out at Vinh Stadium. In previous matches, the number of spectators coming to watch the home team Song Lam Nghe An play was only about 5,000 people. This is a good sign for Nghe An football in particular and Vietnamese football in general. When the team is dedicated and plays with a fair-play spirit, the audience will not turn their backs, and they see each match as an exciting party every weekend.
