Thailand-Vietnam Match Rescheduled

The soccer match between Thailand and Vietnam that was postponed due to torrential rain on Saturday in Hanoi will be take place on November 16. After rain caused havoc in large parts of Vietnam, Football Association of Thailand president Mr Worawi Makudi and Vietnamese Football Federation (VFF) chief Mr Nguyen Trong Hy decided to postpone the match.

The downpour left My Dinh stadium under 5 to 15 centimeter of water. Thailand just need a draw to win the title after defeating North Korea 1-0 last Tuesday.

North Korea and Vietnam played out a 0-0 draw on Thursday. The winning team will take home 1,320,000 Baht (US$40,000).

Meanwhile, other sources in Thailand state that the Thai national soccer team is set to return home today and leave for Saudi Arabia on Thursday for a friendly on Saturday.
