This is the third training session for the Vietnamese team at Rizal Memorial with artificial turf. The fact that the host country, the Philippines, creates the best conditions for the Vietnamese players to practice on the field is a very commendable act. Thus, including the Philippines and Hanoi, the Vietnamese team has had 5-6 training sessions on artificial turf, helping the players get used to the new playing conditions. Photo: Hai Hoang
