This is the fourth time the VFF has been fined. If the problem continues, the VFF would be more strictly punished.

The VFF was previously fined USD11,000 after a match at the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers against Cambodia at the Phnom Penh Olympic Stadium.

In August 2018, the AFF had to pay a fine of USD12,500 as fans set off flares at the Asian Games (ASIAD) in Indonesia after a match with South Korea.

In 2016, VFF was also penalised USD38,000 after local football fans threw stones through the windows of a bus carrying the Indonesian football squad to their hotel in Hanoi.
