My Dinh Stadium History
Ideas for a new national stadium in Vietnam were flagged in 1998 when the government conducted a feasibility study for a national sports complex. In July 2000, Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Văn Khải approved a stadium project at the heart of the Vietnam National Sports Complex in preparation for hosting the 2003 Southeast Asian Games. Four firms, namely Hanoi International Group (HISG – China), Philipp Holzmann (Germany), Bouygues (France) and Lemna-Keystone (United States),
participated in the tender for the construction of the stadium. The process was controversial due to violations of technical and financial requirements in the HISG and Holzmann bids, allegations of corruption related to a French donation, and a lack of transparency in the panel’s decision-making. In the end, HISG won the bid and signed a compromise contract on August 14, 2001.
Construction of the stadium began in 2002. During the development phase, the stadium was named Sân vận động Trung tâm (“central stadium”). The stadium was architecturally completed in June 2003. In August 2003, the stadium was officially named the Mỹ Đình National Stadium, taking its name from the communal area in which the stadium is located. It was inaugurated on September 2, 2003, coinciding with Vietnam National Day.
