Referee gets attacked by home fan after V. League game


A Hai Phong FC fan insulted and spat on referee Hoang Ngoc Ha after the game with Binh Dinh FC in a V. League game on Tuesday.

“After the game, I was talking to the supervisor then I was suddenly squeezed on the back of my neck. I thought someone was joking and turned around. After insulting me, this person spat in my face. I was really surprised. This is clearly an unsportsmanlike and unacceptable behavior on the football field,” Ha said.

Ha also questioned the security work of Lach Tray Stadium, the home ground of Hai Phong when they let a man without access right easily go down the field and attack the referee.

“I was very upset, but because I was still on duty at the time, I had to restrain myself. This person used to work at Hai Phong FC. The last time I refereed here, he was still a member of Hai Phong. I think this is the action of a Hai Phong FC staff, not a fan,” Ha added.

The man who attacked Ha was later identified as Tran Tien Dung, an infamous fan of Hai Phong football who assaulted referee Vo Minh Tri and received a suspended prison sentence in 2012.

Dung was not happy with Ha’s calls during the match, especially when he didn’t give Hai Phong a penalty in the 76th minute when the ball hit the hand of a Binh Dinh player. However, it was not intentional so Ha’s decision was correct.

“I made the right call and got attacked. Imagine if I gave the wrong call,” Ha said.

Referee Ha has filed a report to the organizers of V. League and Vietnam Football Federation after the incident.
