Ho Chi Minh City in need of new stadium

Ho Chi Minh City needs a stadium replacing the deteriorating Thong Nhat Stadium in District 10 to host large sporting events, including international football matches, to satisfy fans, while the costly Rach Chiec sports complex project in Thu Duc City has lain dormant for nearly 30 years. Ho Chi Minh City football fans have almost no chance to watch such matches in person in the city. President of the Ho Chi Minh City Football Federation Tran Anh Tu said the city faces a shortage of facilities for all sports, not only football.
