Participating in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the Vietnamese team stayed at the Swissotel Al Murooj Dubai hotel during the preparation period, then moved to Crowne Plaza Dubai - where the Organizing Committee prepared for the four teams in Group G to stay when entering the official round.
It is known that these are two of the most luxurious and splendid five-star hotels in Dubai. Let's explore where the Vietnamese team will be stationed during the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia.
