U11 Song Lam Nghe An has had its championship title revoked.
On September 9th, the VFF Disciplinary Committee issued disciplinary decisions, imposing fines and bans on the SLNA U11 team for age fraud at the 2024 National U11 Championship.
Specifically, the SLNA U11 team was fined 10 million VND and banned from participating in tournaments organized by the VFF for two years for registering and using players who did not meet the age requirements. In addition, the disciplinary committee also revoked the title, cup, flag, medals, and prize money the team had won at the national tournament on August 7th.

SLNA's U11 team dominated the National Youth Football Championship, winning it seven times. However, in July 2024, news of SLNA players falsifying their age in the national youth tournament caused a stir. Some sources reported that the team's players were overage when they participated in and won the 2022 National U9 Championship.
SLNA Club has affirmed that they always act in accordance with the rules and there is no cheating or wrongdoing involved.
