My Dinh National Stadium was opened in 2003 to host the Southeast Asian Games (SEA) at a cost of almost $ 53 million. Its four stands A, B, C, D have capacity for more than 40,000 people. After 17 years of operation, many elements of the My Dinh Stadium have deteriorated.

 Many areas at stands C and D are sinking and deteriorating.

 The light poles have rusted over time and have not been repaired for a long time.

 The number of seats at the stands C and D will remain unchanged.

 The two stands are the first items to be repaired with an approximate cost of VND150 billion (US$6.5 million) funded by the SEA Games organization budget.
