Phu Tho bans fans from throwing papers to cheer U23 Vietnam, has “special support” to cheer more civilized

As VOV.VN reported, on May 8, the fans at Viet Tri Stadium had not really nice cheering behavior when simultaneously throwing toilet paper to cheer for U23 Vietnam in the match against U23 Philippines. .

Due to the rainy weather in Phu Tho that day, the rolls of paper that the fans threw on the field lost the beauty, making it difficult for the environmental sanitation team to clean up to prepare for the next matches. .

Right after that, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu Tho province gave instructions to relevant departments. Mr. Nguyen Dac Thuy, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu Tho province said: “Although in a certain moment, throwing paper creates a beautiful image, but it affects the environment. I have directed the relevant department to notify the fan association not to throw paper to cheer for Vietnam U23 anymore, but to organize it in other more suitable forms such as human wave, hand wave, sound”.

“The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu Tho province also supported nearly 3,000 national flags of 80x120cm size for fans to cheer with flags. The matches before the organizers have also played the flag, but the fans have not used it regularly, so the next match will continue to be broadcast to encourage cheering through this form” – Mr. Nguyen Dac Thuy, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu province Tho shared more.

According to the 31st SEA Games men’s football match schedule, U23 Vietnam will play the next match on May 13 with U23 Myanmar. Then on May 15, Park Hang Seo’s teachers and students will face U23 Timor Leste.
