VTV speaks out about copyright of Vietnam - Malaysia match

On June 11, Vietnam Television (VTV) announced the exploitation of copyright for matches of the Vietnam national football team.

According to VTV, on June 10, the match between the Vietnamese team and the Malaysian team in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup took place at Bukit Jalil Stadium (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) and was broadcast live by VTV on channels VTV5, VTV Can Tho and the digital platform VTVgo.

After the match ended, many online newspapers and their fanpages posted highlight clips summarizing the match, including the scoring situations. VTV affirmed that the reuse of images, especially extracting clips from broadcast content, must have written consent from VTV.

As the copyright owner of the match, VTV has requested press agencies to comply with copyright regulations if they want to use images of this match. Accordingly, press agencies wishing to use highlight clips (no more than 60 seconds) must send a request to the Advertising and Copyright Exploitation Center - VTV before June 11. The clip must clearly cite VTV, with promotional content "Watch the full match on Vietnam Television channels and VTVgo application".

VTV said that if a valid document is not received by the end of this period, the units that posted the content without approval will be required to remove it and may face related legal proceedings.

In addition to the copyright for the Vietnam - Malaysia match, VTV also holds the copyright to broadcast the remaining two away matches of the Vietnamese team in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, including the match against Nepal on October 14 and Laos on November 18.
