The game in the final round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers will kick-off at 7pm.

Their vaccination and testing information has been integrated in the card. The method was applied during the Vietnam-Japan match held five days ago.

Football fans are requested to install the VN-EID app to check-in and fill in domestic travel declaration before going to the stadium.

However, those who do not hold chip-based ID cards and install VN-EID app still have to bring along identification documents, vaccination certificates, and negative test result for COVID-19.
