Crowds will be at 30 percent of stadium capacity, divided equally between the two teams except for when hosts the UAE are playing, when away fans have only 10 percent.

Spectators must have tested negative for the coronavirus no longer than 48 hours prior to kick-off and be vaccinated. They also need to comply with preventive measures during games.

Children under the age of 16 are not allowed.

Many Vietnamese citizens in the UAE, especially those with visas valid for at least two years, have been fully vaccinated.

Viet Nam will play Indonesia on June 7, Malaysia four days later, and the UAE on June 15.
