Hundreds of Vietnamese football fans are planning to fly to Malaysia to encourage their national team at the first leg of the semi-final of the ASEAN Football Cup 2010 (AFF Suzuki Cup 2010) to be held at the Bukit Jalil Stadium, in Kuala Lumpur.

Vietravel, a large travel agency in Vietnam, has hired two aircraft from Vietnam Airlines to bring these fans to Malaysia for the event. The one day tour to Malaysia costs 8.9 million VND from Ho Chi Minh City and 9.9 million VND from Hanoi.

On this occasion, the travel agency also sells three or four day tours to Malaysia. All tourists will be provided with bands, flags and T-shirts to encourage Vietnam’s team.

The Hanoi Redtour Travel Agency has also introduced tours to Malaysia to visit the country and watch the semi-final. Each tour will last four days and cost US$469.

The number of passengers taking tours to watch the football match in Malaysia keeps increasing, according to travel agencies.
