According to information from Mr. Tran Anh Tu – Chairman of the Board of Directors of VPF Company, the V-League 2024 – 2025 schedule has only specifically set the match dates for the first 9 rounds. The remaining 3 rounds of the first leg will be announced later.
Explaining this, Mr. Tran Anh Tu said: “The schedule of the 2024 Southeast Asian Club Championship has changed, coinciding with the Asian Cup C2. In addition, the V-League schedule must be arranged to ensure that it does not overlap with the plan to gather the Vietnamese team to prepare for the AFF Cup next November.
Therefore, VPF can only schedule the V-League 2024-2025 specifically for the first 9 rounds, starting from September 14 to November 20. The schedule from round 10 will be announced later. This is to avoid changing the schedule in the middle of the match.”
According to Mr. Tran Anh Tu, V-League 2024-2025 aims to use VAR technology in all matches in a round (7 matches).
The 2024-2025 season is expected to begin on August 31, 2024 with the National Super Cup match between Nam Dinh Club (V-League champion) and Thanh Hoa Club (National Cup champion).
According to the regulations of the V-League organizing committee, each team is allowed to register a maximum of 3 foreign players, 1 naturalized player and 2 foreign players of Vietnamese origin.
As for Nam Dinh Club, because they compete in tournaments of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), they are allowed to register 5 foreign players. However, in each match in the domestic arena, they are only allowed to use a maximum of 3 foreign players on the field.
Regarding the time for player registration and transfer, the 2024 – 2025 season has two phases. Phase 1 is from August 15 to October 15, 2024. Phase 2 is from January 20 to March 12, 2025.
