This will be the biggest number of spectators at the My Dinh Stadium since the Vietnamese team entered the third round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers for Asia.
At the Japan-Saudi Arabia match last November, due to COVID-19, My Dinh Stadium was only at 30% of its capacity, equivalent to more than 13,000 spectators.
Hanoi has asked relevant agencies to strictly abide by COVID-19 prevention measures.
The Vietnamese team began their training in Hanoi on Thursday.
