Malaysian referees will supervise the match between Sai Gon FC and Hai Phong on October 28 at Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City.

Hai Phong are currently sat in second with 38 points, two points behind Hanoi FC. Sai Gon FC are stuck at the other end of the table and battling to avoid relegation. They are in 11th position with 19 points, just one point clear of Ha Tinh and HCM City.

The two other foreign referee teams will also run the match between Da Nang and Sai Gon on November 3 at Hoa Xuan Stadium, as well as the match between Viettel and Binh Dinh on November 4 at Hang Day Stadium.
