SLNA reaching the National Cup final is a surprising result, because they struggled in the V-League this season, only successfully staying in the league in the penultimate round. This is a worthy reward for the efforts of coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team. They do not have a strong force like the teams in the V-League, but their fighting spirit is always very high.

Evaluating the final, SLNA coach Phan Nhu Thuat said: "Successfully staying in the league helps the players relieve pressure, giving them confidence to play well and create an important victory against Binh Duong in the semi-finals. Playing at home in the final is a big advantage. We put all our efforts into bringing joy to Nghe An fans."

Compared to CAHN , SLNA is considered much weaker in terms of strength. However, when entering the final match, anything can happen. In addition to careful professional preparation, the home field is also a support for coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team.

In the 2024/25 season, SLNA lost 4 matches at Vinh Stadium, had 4 wins and 5 draws. They made many strong opponents struggle to get points off the field. In the National Cup alone, SLNA won all 3 matches at home, respectively against SHB Da Nang, Dong Thap and Binh Duong.

On the other side of the front line, CAHN is very eager to have a title this season. Coach Polking's team only ranked third in the V-League, second in the Southeast Asian Club Cup, and these results have not satisfied the team's leadership as well as the fans.

Coach Polking affirmed that CAHN is ready for the final match with the goal of winning the cup. The strategist born in 1976 believes that both teams have the same amount of time to recover and prepare, but it would be more reasonable if the match were held at a neutral venue.

Before the final match, CAHN was in very good form with 5 consecutive wins in all competitions. Possessing many stars, the police team was very confident of winning at Vinh Stadium, to win the National Cup for the first time.

The National Cup final between SLNA vs CAHN will kick off at 6pm on June 29 at Vinh Stadium, Nghe An .
