Hanoi (VNA) – With a yellow card in the previous match against Malaysia, head coach of the Vietnamese national team ParkHang-seo has outlined all scenarios and strategies for his assistant LeeYoung-jin to convey to Vietnamese players in preparation for their match against the Un📖ited Arabian Emirates (UAE) on June 15 in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
At a press conference ahead the match, Park said thestrategy remains in the right place though the UAE beat three otherSoutheast Asian rivals, namely Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. He continuously urged hisplayers to not rest on their laurels after winning regional teams. Vietnam previously beat the UEA1-0 in the first leg with a goal by Tien Linh. A similar result is not animpossible task for the team. "They are really a strong team. We are on top of the group but UAE players' physique and technique are among the best in Asia. But I still have plan which will be used to help us win this match,” Park said. Meanwhile, the UAE's coach Bert van Mawijk also emphasised that his team targeted winning thegame against Vietnam. He acknowledged that it willnot be easy, but his team know what to do. All the players will showtheir best ability and skills before Vietnamese rivals in the game, he said.
Vietnam with 17 points need only a draw to make history. A loss with minimum result could also be enough as they may qualify as the best second-placed team.
Meanwhile the hosts, on 15 points, must win to take top placeꦕ and qualify, otherwise they would be ou💖sted./.
Vietnam took a huge step towards making it to the third and final round of World Cup qualification for the first time in history with a tense 2-1 win over Malaysia on June 11 night.
Defeating Malaysia 2-1 in a match early on June 12, the Vietnamese football team continue to receive applause from Asian media for maintaining their impressive unbeaten streak in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers.
The UAE Football Association has opened ticket sales for Vietnamese fans to watch the Vietnam-UAE game that will take place on June 15 at Zabeel Stadium in Dubai as part of the second round of the 2022 World Cup Asian qualifiers.
Vietnam will have to do without head coach Park Hang-seo in the 2022 World Cup qualifying match against the host UAE on June 15 but the RoK coach is confident of a good result in his absence.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
Vietnam continues to sit just behind continental powerhouses Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The event served as a vibrant display of solidarity, promoting peace, cooperation, and development through cultural dialogue, and reaffirmed HCM City's role as a dynamic hub for cultural diplomacy and international friendship.
The Indian Film Festival not only honours the artistic value of cinema but also contributes to strengthening the friendship and enhancing cultural exchange between the people of Son La in particular and Vietnam in general and India.
An art exchange programme between Vietnam and Cambodia was held on the evening of June 13 in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long as part of the 2025 Cambodia Culture Week in Vietnam.
