Although it can hold 135,000 people, the stadium's design ensures that all fans have clear sightlines as per FIFA requirements.
Hung Vuong Stadium, with a capacity of up to 135,000 seats, is drawing huge attention from Vietnamese football fans. Besideits massive capacity, which ranks among the world's largest, many opinions raise the question of whether spectators in the farthest positions, especially at the highest tier, can clearly see the game. Based on the design parameters, the answer is entirely possible.
The standout feature of Hung Vuong Stadium is its bowl-shaped design with a 360-degree seating arrangement around the field. The slope of each tier is uniformly calculated to optimize viewing angles. This model is also used in many top-capacity stadiums worldwide, minimizing blind spots and providing a consistent viewing experience in all areas.
According to FIFA standards, the ideal viewing distance from a seat to the field is about 150 meters, while the maximum limit to still clearly follow the match is around 190 meters. With these parameters, the architects carefully calculated the design of Hung Vuong Stadium to meet visibility requirements despite its enormous scale.
Hung Vuong Stadium has a diameter of about 408 meters, while the playing field meets standard dimensions of 110 meters in length and 70 meters in width, excluding the area for advertising boards. According to expert calculations, the farthest distance from the last rows on the 5th tier of stands A and B to the sideline is about 160 meters. For stands C and D, the distance to the goal line is only about 135 meters.
Even when looking toward the center of the field, the distance from the highest seats is still under 200 meters. This means that most positions in the stands are within or very close to the viewing limit recommended by FIFA. As a result, fans can still clearly watch the match situations without being significantly affected by distance.
Not only impressive for its 135,000-seat capacity, Hung Vuong Stadium is also designed to ensure a quality experience for spectators. Meeting international standards for visibility is a key factor that enables the facility to both host large-scale football events and provide favorable viewing conditions for fans in all areas of the stands.
