Philippine media speaks out about Vietnam's mega stadium

Manila Montet FC reviews Vietnam's 135,000-seat Trống Đồng Stadium project, funded with £28 billion, highlighting its regional football infrastructure aspirations

Recently, Manila Montet FC showed special interest in Vietnam's Trống Đồng Stadium project, a large-scale football facility currently being developed near Hanoi, the capital. According to Philippine media, this is not just a sports project but also clearly reflects Vietnam's strategic vision and growing investment capacity.

Information published by Manila Montet FC states that Trống Đồng Stadium is planned to hold approximately 135,000 spectators, positioning it among the world's largest football stadiums. This facility is the centerpiece of the Olympic Sports City project, a sports urban complex with an estimated total investment of about £28 billion, which includes the stadium, transportation systems, new urban areas, and supporting sports facilities.

The project aims to complete the stadium by 2028, while the entire Olympic Sports City complex will be developed on a long-term schedule extending to 2035. Manila Montet FC notes that this massive investment shows Vietnam's goal to build internationally standard sports infrastructure, preparing to host major regional and global events.

What particularly impresses Philippine media is the design concept of Trống Đồng Stadium. The project is inspired by the Đông Sơn drum, a prominent symbol of Vietnamese culture and history, blending traditional elements harmoniously with modern architecture. According to Manila Montet FC, this approach demonstrates that Vietnam invests not only in scale but also values cultural identity.

The article assesses that the Trống Đồng Stadium project reflects Vietnam's growing passion for football and serves as evidence of the country's economic confidence and long-term vision. From the Philippine perspective, where football is still developing step by step, Manila Montet FC believes projects like this inspire the entire Southeast Asian region in its journey to elevate regional football.
