"Except Brunei and Timor-Leste who are in the play-off, other national teams in Southeast Asia are at a similar level. The opponents of Vietnam in group B are not easy to play. The team must give their best in every single game. The first goal will be getting past the group stage, only after that can we think about the semifinals and final," Park said. The AFF Cup 2021 draw on Tuesday put Vietnam into group B with Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos. Group A consists of Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore and the winner of the play-off between Brunei and Timor-Leste. Vietnam are the defending champions, having won the title in 2018 after beating Malaysia 3-2 in two legs of the final. Since Park became Vietnam’s head coach in late 2017, the national team hasn’t lost any match to Southeast Asia opponents.

"The Southeast Asian teams have played each other many times, at national and youth levels. Therefore, we know each other well. Vietnam are playing in the final round of World Cup qualifiers, so they are on another level. We all understand they are the favorite to advance in this group," Tan said after their AFF Cup draw on Tuesday. The draw has put Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos into the same group. In the last AFF Cup edition, Malaysia lost to Vietnam in the group stage and suffered a defeat against the Golden Dragons in the final. Tan said since Vietnam would most likely make it past the group stage, Malaysia will compete with Indonesia for the remaining slot in the next round. AFF Cup will take place from Dec. 5, 2021 to Jan. 1, 2022. Due to Covid-19, the tournament will be hosted at a single country, to be determined by the ASEAN Football Federation at the end of September. …

Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade has decided to investigate the evasion of trade remedies by cane sugar products originating in Thailand after considering requests from domestic sugar producers. The ministry said it has received the petition of the Vietnam Sugarcane and Sugar Association (VSSA) and domestic cane sugar refineries, which submitted evidence that Thai cane sugar products subject to anti-dumping and anti-subsidy taxes have entered the Vietnamese market through five ASEAN countries, namely Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Myanmar.
