We have a chance to win the AFF Cup for the first time since 2018. The FIFA World Cup page has been closely following the journey of the Vietnamese team in this year's tournament. They congratulated the team in a timely manner, with status lines that are very familiar to Vietnamese fans such as: "Seeing Xuan Son means knowing spring has come", "Sports means constant effort" (to tease Tien Linh after the first leg against Singapore) or "Listening to Xuan Son makes my heart full". Meanwhile, AFC commented on the victory of the Vietnamese team.

The main character of the Vietnamese team is still Nguyen Xuan Son, who scored a double against Singapore. He opened the score from the penalty spot at the end of the first half and scored to increase the score to 2-0 in the 63rd minute. Tien Linh was the one who closed the victory for the Vietnamese team with a penalty kick in the second half's injury time. The opponent of the Vietnamese team in the final match is the champion Thailand or the Philippines. Coach Kim Sang Sik's team is on the verge of winning the tournament for the third time". The Vietnamese team has an advantage over its opponent in the final match when it has 1 more day off. Moreover, we also do not have to travel when playing the first leg of the final match at home in Viet Tri on January 2, 2025.
