JAKARTA - The final of the first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup will bring together Vietnam vs Thailand. This match will be a hot party because both teams are known to have traces of fierce rivalry in Southeast Asian football.

The 2024 AFF Cup finals will be held in a two-legged format. The first leg will first bring together Vietnam vs Thailand at Viet Tri Stadium on Thursday, January 2, 2025, at 20.00 WIB.

Although he had to visit Vietnam first, Thailand had high confidence because it managed to win dramatically over the Philippines in the semifinals.

The visitors were also quite confident in the condition of the squad because their mainstay defender, Chalermsak Aukkee, would be strengthened.

Chalermsak even emphasized that the White Elephant squad was not afraid to face Vietnam at their homes.

"Thai's spirit is currently very high. We are not afraid to face Vietnam at their homes."

"The question should be whether Vietnam is afraid of Thailand?" said Aukkee quoted from Bongda 24h on Thursday, January 2, 2025.

In the host camp, support from supporters will clearly burn the spirit of players on the field.

In addition, Vietnam is also in the best form under Kim Sang-sik, especially with the contribution of their flagship striker, Nguyen Xuan Son.

The naturalized striker could be the capital to bang on the opponent's defense. Xuan Son has now scored five goals in the last three matches.

The record could clearly make it the main weapon of The Golden Star Warriors.

The meeting between Vietnam and Thailand in the first leg is also a repeat of the 2022 AFF Cup final, where the White Elephant managed to come out as champion with a 3-2 aggregate victory.

Now, Vietnam has the opportunity to avenge the defeat. While Thailand is determined to defend their title.
