After winning the ASEAN Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team received generous rewards from the Organizing Committee as well as sponsors.
The Vietnamese team ended the ASEAN Cup 2024 with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Thailand at Rajamangala, officially usurping the throne of this "traditional" rival.
After two matches, Vietnam won 5-3, affirming its position as the "king" of Southeast Asian football. This is the third time the Vietnamese team has won the Southeast Asian championship, after 2008 and 2018.
With this historic achievement, in addition to the money from AFF, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team also received big rewards from sponsors and benefactors.
As of January 6, the total bonus for the Vietnamese team has reached more than1.3 million USD(about 33 billion VND). Compared to the Thai team received for winning the AFF Cup 2022, the bonus for the Vietnamese team is more.
It is known that in the 2022 AFF Cup, the Thai team received a total bonus of 1.2 million USD after Madam Pang spent her own money and mobilized the maximum number of domestic enterprises to reward the championship of the "War Elephants". This figure is equivalent to 30 billion VND (including the bonus from the AFF Cup Organizing Committee).
The ASEAN Cup 2024 is a memorable tournament for Vietnamese football, as the team maintained an unbeaten streak with 7 wins and 1 draw. This is the most wins by a champion in the history of the tournament. The ASEAN Cup 2024 championship is not only a major milestone for Vietnamese football but also a strong source of inspiration for the team to aim for bigger playgrounds in the future.
