The results of last season’s matches truly reflect the true strength of the teams…”, General Secretary Duong Nghiep Khoi said.
On behalf of VFF, General Secretary Duong Nghiep Khoi wished the assessors and referees to accumulate more lessons and knowledge through the training class, thereby having good preparation towards the 2023/24 Vietnam professional football tournament.
