The Hanoi People's Committee Thursday approved a decision to this effect and sent it to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
It said only 12,000 seats out of 40,000 are available per match. Spectators must either be fully vaccinated at least 14 days before the match or have recovered from COVID-19 within the last six months.
They must also test negative for coronavirus at least 72 hours prior, and abide by pandemic prevention measures like keeping distances and wearing masks. Vietnam will play Japan on November 11 and Saudi Arabia on November 16.
Vietnam have yet to collect any points after four matches and are at the bottom of Group B of the final qualifying round, which they played for the first time ever.
Vietnam are of the same group with Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, China and Oman.
