The match between Song Lam Nghe An and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh has been postponed to May 26.

This is a move to seriously implement the direction from the Party Central Committee, the National Assembly, the President, the Government and the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front on organizing the State funeral for former President Tran Duc Luong on May 24 and 25, 2025.

According to the general direction, all professional football competitions in the country will be suspended during the National Mourning period. This means that a series of matches in domestic football tournaments will be rescheduled. Specifically:

The matches of round 24 of the National Championship and round 20 of the National First Division will be postponed to May 26 and 27.

The make-up match of round 23 between Binh Duong Club and Hanoi Police was also postponed to May 30.

Matches taking place from May 23 will proceed as usual.

Accordingly, the match betweenLam River Nghe Anand Thep Xanh Nam Dinh at Vinh Stadium will be moved to Monday, May 26 instead of May 24 as originally scheduled.

This schedule adjustment is of particular importance to the Nam Dinh Steel Club. The team from the South is facing the opportunity to win the championship early if they win all 3 points against Song Lam Nghe An away and in case the Hanoi Club cannot win against the Hanoi Police in the match of the same round.

With the move to May 26, the highlight match between Song Lam Nghe An and Nam Dinh is expected to attract the attention of football fans, especially as this is the round that could decide the 2024/25 season's championship.

Song Lam Nghe An is currently at the bottom of the table, but with home field advantage, the Nghe An team will certainly not let their opponents achieve their goal easily. Meanwhile, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh will enter the match with the mindset of a championship candidate, carrying the highest determination to soon complete the successful season.
