Traditionally, the VFF Cup is a meeting place between two predestined rivals Vietnam and Thailand. However, Thailand refused to participate in this tournament causing difficulties for the organizers.[1][2] Finally with the participation of Singapore,[3] Korean and North Korean students believe that the quality of the tournament is guaranteed.
