* Comment before the match
In Group 3 of Group E (Central Coast region qualifying round), the FPT Polytechnic College team soon won a ticket to play the play-off match with 4 points. Therefore, the Hue University team and the Da Nang School of Education and Training team will compete fiercely for the remaining tickets. Both teams must win to continue.

Hue University team at this time is brighter. The team that won the 2023 tournament currently has 1 point, after a difficult draw against the FPT Polytechnic College team on January 8. In the final match taking place at 9 a.m. today (January 10), the Hue University team will definitely win a ticket to the play-off match if they defeat the Da Nang University of Technology and Education team with any score.
However, winning 3 points in the final match is not simple for the Hue University team. The Hue University team this season is no longer strong, but in previous years, many players returned to play for their school’s team. The cases of full-back Nguyen Van Do or striker Nguyen Duc Tai playing for the University of Sciences – Hue University team are examples. Both of the above players are part of the Hue University team that won the tournament in the first time – 2023.

On the contrary, although the team of Da Nang University of Pedagogy and Technology no longer has the right to self-determination, they still have a slim chance to continue. Accordingly, the Da Nang University of Technology and Education team (currently with 0 points and difference of -1) needs to win a victory against Hue University with a big score, with a difference of 3 goals or more to advance.
