Vietnam to host 2013 U13 ASEAN Cup

Hanoi’s National My Dinh Stadium will host the 2013 U13 Southeast Asian Football Tournament (2013 Yamaha Cup) from October 4–6.

Six foreign squads from Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, and the two Vietnamese representatives Viettel and defending national champions Song Lam Nghe An, will fight it out to be crowned the best U13 team in Southeast Asia.

A round robin format will determine the two teams from each group advancing to the semifinals.

The Yamaha Cup’s final round is scheduled for the afternoon of October 6.

This is the second time Vietnam has hosted the championship. In 2008, Vietnam’s U13 Danang team claimed overall victory after defeating their Malaysian rivals 4-0.
