The chairman of the Vietnamese Football Association (VFA), Nguyen Trong Hy, has told local media that the body is negotiation with foreign investors to arrange the friendly matches.

He also added that Greek giants Olympiakos will visit in May.  

The matches are part of plans to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of Hanoi.  

“Guest teams to the Thang Long Cup must be continental or globally reputed teams,” Hy confirmed.

The VFA paid around $500,000 in July to arrange a friendly between the national team and the Brazilian Olympic team.
