After the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism instructed the VFF, the My Dinh Sports Complex Management Board and the organizers of the friendly game to closely cooperate in organizing the game with Arsenal in July, on June 19 the head of the Sports and Physical Training Administration – Mr. Vuong Bich Thang met with the two highest representatives of the VFF and My Dinh stadium management board – VFF Chairman Nguyen Trong Hy and Director Can Van Nghia.

In this working session, the view of the Administration and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is that all related parties need to share the difficulties and jointly organize the game.

Thang said this is a big match with the famous club like Arsenal, so the parties should focus on the preparation for the game rather than arguing about the rent of the stadium.

Before this meeting, both the VFF and the My Dinh stadium management board did not compromise with each other but they were willing to listen to the guidance of the Ministry and the Administration.

"The VFF will wait for the guidance of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The Ministry promised to solve this well, so the VFF will not argue about the price. We will obey the Ministry’s instruction," said VFF Vice Chairman Nguyen Lan Trung.

Meanwhile, VFF Chairman Nguyen Trong Hy said that the federation was willing to pay VND800 million, not VND600 million as it confirmed before.

My Dinh Sports Complex’s director Can Van Nghia confirmed that his agency would follow the instruction of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Sports and Physical Training Administration.

The contract is expected to sign this week.

The VFF will give My Dinh stadium management board only 50 tickets instead of 500 as originally requested.

Under the direction of the Sports and Physical Training Administration, the friendly game must be held at the highest efficiency, the audience must be served at best and the safety also must be the best.

Shortly after the contract is signed, the organizers will print and release the tickets.
