In the opening match of the AFF Cup 2022, despite being played at home, Laos may not receive the cheers expected from the fans because the Vietnamese living in Laos are very crowded. Not to mention that there will be thousands of visitors to the country of Million Elephants to fuel the teachers and students of Coach Park Hang Seo.
Before the match, coach Michael Weiss called on Laos fans to come to the field to cheer for the home team in the match against a very strong opponent from Vietnam.

Coach Michael Weiss.
The match against Vietnam will be very difficult. They are a very strong team. In addition, the number of Vietnamese living in Laos is also very large, so they will definitely come to the field to cheer for their team.
I hope that the Laos team will not have to “be a guest” right at home. If there is encouragement from the stands, I believe that the whole team will have a good performance against the Vietnamese team.” said the Germans.

A lot of Vietnamese people live in Laos.
Talking about the preparation process of the Laos team, Mr. Michael Weiss said: ”We have had 2 months to prepare for the tournament. The Laos team also had a very strong 1-0 victory over Thailand U23. That is a positive result. However we lost Thailand U23 0-5 in the rematch and that disappointed the whole team.
In general, the team has prepared well for the AFF Cup 2022, with a young squad. The whole team is trying to do the best in the upcoming tournament.”
The Laos national team match against Vietnam will take place at 19:30 on December 21 at the Laos National Stadium.
