VietNamNet Bridge - Two important games in preparation for the 27th SEA Games of the Vietnam's female national football team with the Chinese squad were canceled because of financial problems.

Through the Chinese coach Chen Yun Fat of the Vietnam female national squad, the team had planned a training course in China in late October, with the two friendly games against the women’s team of China on October 28 and 30 as the highlight.

However, the Chinese Football Association has recently excused to not being able to assign the women’s team to attend the games with financial reasons. Details are not explained, but the late decision of the Chinese partner has made difficulty for the Vietnam Football Federation in finding a training place with the same quality for the women’s squad.

Currently, coach Chen Yun Fat is considering South Korea and Taiwan as substitutes.

The women’s team will group up on October 10 and will have 10 days for physical training in Da Lat. After that the team will return to the football training center at the My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi for tactical training before going abroad.
