(Baonghean.vn) - U21 Gia Dinh continued to be eliminated due to violating regulations at the 2022 National U21 Tournament. Previously, U21 Song Lam Nghe An also encountered a similar situation and was eliminated from the tournament.
On the afternoon of December 26, the Disciplinary Board of the Vietnam Football Federation decided to disqualify U21 Gia Dinh from the 2022 National U21 Tournament because the team violated the regulations of allowing players to play for 3 teams in 1 season. Specifically, U21 Gia Dinh sent player Le Van Truong to play in a number of matches, in the 2022 National U21 qualifying round. It is known that in the 2022 season, Le Van Truong played for 3 clubs: Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Vi Vi Vang Kon Tum and U21 Gia Dinh. In the final round of the 2022 National U21 Tournament, after knowing the violation of the regulations, U21 Gia Dinh did not register this player to play.
