Day 18: Hang Day stadium and ... Hang Day had been the most popular stadium to football supporters in Hanoi before the My Dinh national stadium was used. On November 24 2018, there was a football match between Vietnam and Cambodia of The 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup. Maybe this was the last match of Hang Day stadium because after that match, Hang Day will be rebuilt. This stadium went along with so many national football matches and a lot of unforgettable memories. From the golden generation of football players in the 1998 Tiger Cup which be called AFF Cup now, they were talented and played with enthusiasm and fair play spirit. At the time, Hang Day was always full of supporters. However many years later, football supporter came to watch less. That was a dark period of Vietnamese football when football players did not play for their honour, not for their nation and not for their supporters also. They played selfish and ugly and the worst thing that some players did was that they got involved in a match fixing. They draw an ugly picture of the national team and most of supporters no longer went to any stadium to watch football. Luckily, the dark time seemed to stay backward when a new golden generation was born. They were collected and trained at the age of 10. They were not only trained about playing football, but also studied as other kids including foreign languages. The supporters started to come back stadiums to watch football when this generation played at U19 game. Some of audiences could not hide their emotions and said that they thanked the U19 players so much because they brought to the audiences a very beautiful match with a lot of emotions and that it had been a long time ago they could feel happy like that. This year, several football matches were held at Hang Day and each match was all full of audiences. However there was a difference in comparision with 1998's audiences. In the last golden time, most of the audiences were men ( adults). Nowaday, the audiences include old people, young people (both men and women) and children.
