The match-winning goal was scored by Cong Phuong, securing Vietnam’s third consecutive title at the regional tournament, held at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Indonesia.

In Hanoi, tens of thousands of fans flocked to the iconic Hoan Kiem Lake area immediately after the final whistle.

The pedestrian zone around the lake was lit up in red and gold, packed with people and vehicles waving flags and chanting in celebration of coach Kim Sang-sik’s team.



Celebrations extended through central Hanoi, with fans marching past the Hanoi Opera House and gathering in large groups throughout the night.


Many young supporters stayed out celebrating with the team until the early hours of July 30.

Foreign visitors also joined the celebrations.


Traffic police were deployed across the capital to ensure public safety and maintain order during the night of festivities.
