Many supporters are confident that Thien Truong Stadium will enable the Vietnamese national team to excel against their familiar foe, Malaysia.
According to the latest information, Thien Truong Stadium will host the match between the Vietnamese national team and the Malaysian national team in the final round of the 2027 Asian Cup final qualifying stage. Many fans believe this venue will help both the Vietnamese national team and Xuan Son shine.
"Thien Truong Stadium is a familiar ground for Xuan Son and Hoang Hen. Hopefully, both can excel and help the national team of Vietnam defeat Malaysia in the final match. Thien Truong Stadium is currently also ranked among the top most beautiful stadiums in Vietnam. The grass here is green and lush, not much inferior to Lach Tray Stadium.", Facebook user Quang Tung hopes Thien Truong Stadium will help the Vietnamese national team shine.
"Viet Tri Stadium is a familiar venue for the national team and U23 side when they need "good luck vibes". Hopefully, Thien Truong Stadium can also have "good luck vibes" like Viet Tri Stadium. Nam Dinh spectators are also famously passionate. Remember when the Lao U23 national team played SEA Games here, the spectators filled the stands to cheer, making the Lao U23 national team feel like they were playing at home.", Facebook user Hieu Nguyen commented.
"No need to worry about the outcome of the international referee and FIFA's decisions; for now, just fight and win first. The Vietnamese national team will soon have Hoang Hen, Gustavo, and Le Giang added. I believe Coach Kim Sang Sik and the Vietnamese national team will secure a victory to decide their own fate for advancement.", Facebook user Quang Vinh Nguyen believes the Vietnamese national team will win.
"Thien Truong Stadium has hosted both the Shopee Cup and AFC Champions League Two, so it more than meets international standards. As for Nam Dinh fans, no need to say more. They are always passionate whenever there's football.", Facebook user Thanh Quan Duy shared his view.

"The Vietnamese national team must now prepare for all scenarios when facing Malaysia. Given the current situation, it's unclear if the result will favor the Vietnamese national team or not. Soon, the Malaysian national team will also naturalize 2 or 3 more players who have played long-term in their domestic league, so they will remain formidable.
Bergson has faced Nam Dinh right on this Thien Truong Stadium pitch. Defender Gallifuoco is also a quality name. The Vietnamese national team must fight to win the home leg first before considering other options.", Facebook user Anh Dung Nguyen hopes the Vietnamese national team focuses on preparing for the match.
"Hopefully, in the upcoming match, Thien Truong Stadium will be packed with no empty seats to support and cheer for the Vietnamese national team. For the match against Malaysia, Coach Kim Sang Sik will also have additional naturalized players like Hen and Le Giang. Furthermore, U23 players who perform well can be called up to the Vietnamese national team to face Malaysia.", Facebook user Dung Nguyen hopes fans will fill Thien Truong Stadium.
"It's still unknown whether the Malaysian national team can field those 7 naturalized players again or not? If not, Malaysia is just an ordinary team. Before Coach Park Hang Seo's era, the Malaysian national team would lose whenever they met the Vietnamese national team. So, without naturalized players, it's straightforward.
If they have the naturalized players, plus the two newly naturalized players Bergson and Gallifuoco, the situation becomes even more tense. But still, we hope the Vietnamese national team performs well at Thien Truong. And may the Nam Dinh spectators cheer passionately to boost the players' morale.", Facebook user Vu Ngo expressed his opinion.
It is expected that after the 16th round of the LPBank V-League 2025/2026 concludes, the Vietnamese national team will have a two-week training camp to prepare for the match against the Malaysian national team. Before this crucial match, the Vietnamese national team will play a friendly against the Bangladesh national team on March 26th at Hang Day Stadium.
