Thien Truong Stadium is the home ground of Thep Xanh Nam Dinh FC, in the Nam Dinh urban area. A home match can give a city stay a different focus from temples and food, but arrange the trip around a confirmed fixture and its ticket release.
Choose the match before booking an evening journey back to Hanoi or Ninh Binh. Staying in Nam Dinh makes the evening easier to manage; if returning elsewhere, arrange the late pickup before buying tickets. A stadium listing alone does not mean a game takes place on your travel date.
Check the club, season and stadium together
On the Vietnam Professional Football, or VPF, website, find Thép Xanh Nam Định and select the current competition and season. Open the individual fixture and look for SVĐ Thiên Trường as the venue. Confirm the calendar date and kickoff in Vietnam local time with the ticket team.
Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh are separate teams, and Thien Truong Stadium and Ninh Binh Stadium are different grounds. Read the home team and venue even when both club names appear in the same fixture. Do not turn a match in another city into a Nam Dinh hotel booking.
Use the Nam Dinh ticket portal for the exact match
The club ticket portal is datve.clbnamdinh.vn. Select the game, stand and quantity, then supply a working email address and phone number. Đã ngừng bán means sales have ended. If only past games appear, ask about your chosen fixture; do not buy an old event.
Payment instructions cover VNPAY QR and Vietnamese bank or ATM payment. Ask about an alternative if you only have an overseas card. Do not assume that a ticket booth will accept cash on arrival.
Contact the ticket team on +84 966 505 569 or clbbdnamdinh@gmail.com. Send the opponent, date, number of people and payment question. Ask for the current price and authorized sales arrangement for that match.
After payment, download the ticket and check the emailed attachment. Each QR allows one entry; keep it private and readable offline. Ordinary exchanges and cancellations are not allowed. Contact support promptly if payment succeeds but the ticket is missing.
Before choosing a stand, establish whether your group will sit together, which gate serves the allocation and whether the seats have weather cover. For a child or someone who needs step-free access, ask about the actual entrance-to-seat route and toilet access. These details matter more than picking the cheapest stand letter.
Navigate to the stadium entrance
Use Sân vận động Thiên Trường, 5 Đặng Xuân Thiều, Nam Định for the stadium, then add the gate specified for your ticket. The club office listed at 27 Dang Xuan Thieu is a separate address; the ticket company’s Han Thuyen address is also an office, not your match entrance.
As a planning allowance, reach the entrance area about 45–60 minutes before kickoff, with more time for an unfamiliar gate or a busy fixture. This is not a published gate-opening time. Have the QR ready before joining the queue and follow the match notice on bags and permitted rain protection.
Build a Nam Dinh day around the game
A confirmed session at Nam Dinh Museum and the flag tower makes a daytime cultural stop. Give it its own opening-time check, then leave the late afternoon for a meal and the stadium. Avoid adding a distant countryside circuit that depends on a tightly timed return.
The Nam Dinh food guide helps you choose beef pho, crab-broth noodles or a xiu pao pastry before the match. Eat before approaching the gate rather than depending on a particular vendor inside, and keep any food purchase separate from the ticket arrangements.
Agree on a recognizable, legal pickup point after the match, allowing for a final walk away from the exits. Keep the return time flexible enough for delays and the crowd leaving together. If there is no suitable home fixture, keep the museum and food plan and save the football visit for another stay.
