The transportation service is arranged by National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines in collaboration with the Vietnamese Consulate General in Shanghai. After the match, fans will be transported to Shanghai’s downtown area.
Vietnam Airlines says it is ready to increase the number of flights between Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City and Shanghai to meet the demand of Vietnamese football fans. The carrier is currently operating one flight a day between Vietnam and Shanghai, using state-of-the-art an Airbus A350-900XWB aircraft.
To register for the free transport service to the stadium, fans are recommended to log in to facebook.com/vietnamairlines or call Vietnam Airlines' customer service at 1900 1100.
Vietnam’s U23 team continue writing history at the regional AFC U23 Championship in China after beating the championship favourite Iraq in a penalty shootout to reach the semifinals for the first time in history.
The Vietnamese team was not as highly rated as Iraq due to their disadvantage in height and physical strength, however, coach Park Hang-seo’s players proved determined to create consecutive surprises.
This was a deserved win for the Vietnamese squad as they had consistently fought back and played courageously to ease the pressure during the 120 minutes against Iraq. They tied 3-3 after overtime and ended up 5-3 after the nerve-racking shootout.
International sport news agencies have called Vietnam’s win a historic triumph. Football Indonesia wrote in a tweet that Vietnam is now heading toward the final after a remarkable 5-3 win against Iraq.
