The Vietnamese Yeo Ja-bae-gu (CEO)team competing at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games encountered an absurd situation from the very first day of their arrival in Japan.

Vietnamese outlet Webthethao reported on the 14th (Korean time) that "the Vietnamese Yeo Ja-bae-gu (CEO)team arrived in Japan and began their journey toward the 20th Asian Games," but also noted that "several issues arose during the long flight and the transfer to their accommodation, causing them significant hardship from the first day."

Here is what happened. The Vietnamese national team, led by coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet, arrived in Japan after an overnight flight.

However, things were not smooth even at the airport. It was reported that no volunteers were present to personally greet and accompany the national team. Instead, officials from the Asian Games organizing committee assisted with receiving player cards and various verification procedures.

During this process, the Vietnamese national team had to wait approximately one hour at the airport.

Then another problem occurred.

The Vietnamese national team boarded a vehicle provided by the organizing committee to head to their accommodation, but the vehicle mistakenly went to a hotel that was not assigned to the players.

Webthethao explained, "That hotel was the venue for the Asian Games technical meetings and where representatives from some participating countries stayed, but it was not the accommodation assigned to the Vietnamese national team."

After confirming they had arrived at the wrong hotel, the Vietnamese national team had to move again to their actual accommodation.

This time, there was no vehicle available.

Webthethao reported that "the players had to carry all their luggage and walk from that hotel to their actual accommodation, a distance of about 5 to 10 minutes."

It further emphasized, "Although the distance was short, it became a very difficult journey because the players, who had already traveled for a long time, had to carry all their luggage while walking."

Eventually, after arriving at their actual accommodation and completing check-in procedures, the players were able to enter their rooms.

However, as unexpected twists and turns continued until they reached their accommodation, the players' fatigue levels increased even further.

The media stated, "The entire travel schedule to Japan took longer than originally expected, and team members could not avoid exhaustion," adding that "they waited about one hour at the airport, rode a vehicle to a hotel, and then had to walk to their actual accommodation."

As a result, it is known that after arriving at their accommodation, the Vietnamese players prioritized rest for physical recovery.

Meanwhile, Vietnam was placed in Group D along with South Korea, Hong Kong, and Qatar in this tournament. They will face Qatar on the 16th, followed by Hong Kong on the 17th and South Korea on the 18th. With the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarterfinals, the match between South Korea and Vietnam is considered a de facto decider for first place in the group.
