With 40 gold medals, only Tien Linh is ‘unique’
The story of Tien Linh’s “unique Binh Duong” gold medal attracted a lot of attention from fans.

This was shared by Tien Linh in a special interview program of SCTV television station, in which the captain of Binh Duong Club shared his wish that “if kept, the defective gold medal will be auctioned off”.
Specifically, Tien Linh expressed: “At first, when receiving Linh, she did not pay attention to the words but only paid attention to the gold medal sent by the organizers to the champions.

But after posting it on social networks, Linh received comments from friends and realized that this is a quite rare gold medal in Southeast Asian football.
When asking 40 teammates and members of the Vietnamese team, with more than 40 gold medals, only Linh has this special medal.”
Can Tien Linh auction off the “unique” gold medal?
At the same time, Tien Linh also shared: “Linh informed VFF so that she could exchange the medal for a better one. Linh also asked VFF and AFF to keep this medal so that it could be auctioned to the Cross Society. red and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee”.
Tien Linh’s unique gold medal
It is known that through VFF, Tien Linh’s request was forwarded to the AFF Cup 2024 Organizing Committee. The AFF Cup 2024 Organizing Committee apologized and responded that he would receive a genuine gold medal like the remaining 39 gold medals of the team. Vietnam.
At the same time, the organizers of AFF Cup 2024 also said they would recall the defective gold medal, before producing a new gold medal for Tien Linh. This process will take time, so it is likely that after the Lunar New Year, striker Binh Duong will receive the organizers “return the gold medal to me”.
Thus, the “HCV” plate with the words runner-up will not be next to Tien Linh, so he will not be able to auction it as originally planned.
