Record of 6 professional teams of Ho Chi Minh City
The 2025-2026 season will see Ho Chi Minh City set a record with 6 teams participating in the professional league, including Ho Chi Minh City Police Club (HCMC Police) and Becamex HCMC competing in the V-League arena.
In addition, Ho Chi Minh City also has 4 first-class representatives including newly promoted Van Hien University Club along with Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club, Gia Dinh FC and Ho Chi Minh City Club (formerly Ba Ria - Vung Tau Club).
Having 6 teams playing in the professional league puts a certain pressure on the facilities, specifically the home field and training field that meet the standards set by VPF. In particular, Thong Nhat Stadium promises to be lit up all week long.
Thong Nhat Stadium will be home to 3 teams next season.

With the advantage of being located right in the city center and being a familiar traditional meeting place, it is not surprising that there are 3 football teams choosing Thong Nhat Stadium as their home ground.
Except for CA TP.HCM Club competing in V-League, Thong Nhat Stadium will also be the home ground of 2 representatives participating in the national first division including Ho Chi Minh City Youth Team and newly promoted Van Hien University.
Excited about moving
Also a rookie just promoted from the second division, Gia Dinh FC has chosen its own path, planning to rent and renovate Military Zone 7 stadium, including functional rooms, to be its home stadium in the 2025 - 2026 national first division.
Ho Chi Minh City's second V-League team, Becamex Ho Chi Minh City, will continue to play at Go Dau Stadium - one of the most beautiful football fields and regularly receives awards for beautiful grass from VPF.

Meanwhile, the last team we will mention is Ho Chi Minh City Club (formerly Ba Ria - Vung Tau Club) which will be attached to Ba Ria - Vung Tau Stadium, one of the most beautiful football fields in Vietnam, which has just welcomed the U.23 Vietnam team to train before going to Indonesia to participate in the U.23 ASEAN 2025 tournament.
This means that professional football fields in Ho Chi Minh City are very far apart. The distance from Thong Nhat Stadium to Go Dau Stadium is 32 km, which in ideal conditions would take about 1 hour. But that is still almost boring!
The distance from Thong Nhat Stadium to Ba Ria Stadium is up to 80 km, with travel time ranging from 2 hours, even 5 hours depending on the level of traffic jams, which are a chronic problem on the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh Expressway and National Highway 51.
But the record must be mentioned is the distance from Go Dau stadium to Ba Ria stadium, nearly 90 km long, if favorable it will take about 2.5 hours to travel, but must go through the bottleneck of Highway 13, and if the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway is under repair, it can take up to 6 hours.
