HANOI (7 Dec 2010) – The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) have offered a bonus of at least USD350,000 (VND7 billion) to the players and team management should the team be successful in defending the AFF Suzuki Cup crown they won two years ago for the first time.
The defending champions conceded a 2-0 loss to tournament surprise package Philippines in their last group match two days ago and will head into the crucial clash of Group B tomorrow where they have to beat Singapore to book their place in the semi-finals. VFF stated that they will contribute USD250,000 (VND5 billion) with the remaining USD100,000 (VND2 billion) to come from VP Bank. “If they win, they will also get rewards from VFF’s partners and sponsors,” said VFF chairman Nguyen Trong Hy. And this could be up to an additional USD500,000 (VND10 billion). Two years ago, the team was rewarded with USD200,000 (VND4 billion) by the VFF.
