Besides impressive forms from players such as Minh Son, Anh Khoa, Hai Ha, Thanh Ngan … another reason for Hai Phong badminton to overcome Ho Chi Minh City is because the opponent plays somewhat under strength. This is absolutely understandable when Ho Chi Minh City is somewhat “overwhelmed” when encountering the host representative, which has many enthusiastic audiences.
The National Badminton Championship 2025 took place at Vietnam Maritime University Stadium. This is a fairly small stadium, and the stands are built with the field area. Therefore, the voice and cheers of the audience are much larger than the matches held on the large field.
Both Thien Thoi and Loi Loi belong to Hai Phong badminton in the match against Ho Chi Minh City. Some of Hai Phong's passionate audience also brought Vuvuzela on the pitch, and blowing continuously for 5 matches. They even cheered more or less extreme, and continued to blow when the organizers were constantly reminded of not being used.
The sound of the trumpet and cheering from Hai Phong audience has completely overwhelmed the spirit of Ho Chi Minh City players. This is most evident in the “hinge” of men's double content, when Ho Chi Minh City lost. In the match, Ho Chi Minh City players also lost to the homeowners.
The victory of Hai Phong against Ho Chi Minh City was somewhat similar to the time Nguyen Dinh Hoang and Tran Dinh Manh won the Vietnam Challenge a few months ago. They all take advantage of home advantage, in the context of the majority of the audience has become a “tennis player” to support the players on the field.
