The Australia-Viet Nam game will kick off at 4.10 pm (Viet Nam time) on January 27.
A meeting on the organization of the Viet Nam-China match took place in Ha Noi on January 20, the VFF said.
The game is slated for February 1 at My Dinh National Stadium in Ha Noi.
As the date is also the first day of the lunar year, which is an important traditional festival celebrated in both countries, relevant agencies are sparing no efforts to ensure safety during the event, Director of the municipal Department of Culture and Sports Do Dinh Hong underlined.
