The national football team will not play a friendly match with Premier English club Tottenham Hotspurs because the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) can not find sponsors to pay the US$2-million fee, VFF said Wednesday.
Vice Chairman Le Hung Dung said the VFF had been approached by a Singaporean brokerage agency saying it wanted to take the English club to Vietnam for a friendly in May.
The $2-million fee was too steep in the context of the global economic downturn, Dung said.
Meanwhile, Dung and VFF General Secretary Tran Quoc Tuan have maintained that the only international friendly for the national team this year will be with Greece’s Olympiakos.
Tuan said the Greek club would confirm the date next week and perhaps the V-League schedule might need a little change to accommodate the match.
