Organizers have decided to halt the ongoing top-tier V. League 1 starting next week, following the resurgence of Covid-19 transmissions.
Tran Anh Tu, chairman of Vietnam Professional Football JSC (VPF), decided to suspend all matches in the fourth round of V. League 1 and await a new announcement from authorities.
Organizers have decided to put three matches - Than Quang Ninh FC vs HCMC FC, SHB Da Nang FC vs Ha Tinh FC, and Hai Phong FC vs Hanoi FC - this weekend on hold since the venues and some players stem from localities with fresh outbreak.
After 55 days of no community infections, Vietnam registered 84 local cases on Thursday and nine more on Friday morning, to raise the tally to 1,651.
