AS Roma will face the Vietnam national team in a friendly as part of
their Asia Tour this June, according to the English language daily
Vietnam News on February 23.
The daily quoted FIFA
official Mae Mua as saying that a representative of AS Roma and Strata
had signed an agreement in England last December.
Mae Mua, who works for the British sports marketing firm Strata in
Vietnam, said following the agreement, the match would be held at
Hanoi’s My Dinh Stadium on June 2.
The Italian
club will bring stars including Francesco Totti, Deniel De Rossi,
Bosnian Miralem Pjianic, Pablo Daniel Osvaldo and Erik Manuel Lamela.

Attilio Lombardo overcame Vietnam 2-1 at Hanoi’s Hang Day
