Hoi An's goal posts are unveiled for the big clash on 18 July

Tonight, it has been confirmed that the North will play the South in the neutral territory of Hoi An in Central Vietnam on Saturday, 18 July 2009.

Players and families will fly into Hoi An from Hanoi and Saigon on Friday 17 July and depart on Sunday 19 July.

It is rumoured that officials from the White House are in the process of repositioning satellites to closely monitor this match of Aussie Rules. The reason for their interest? North Korea.

Officials are asking, could such an idea be used on the Korean Peninsula to bring the North Koreans back into the fold?

More details about the specifics of the weekend in Hoi An to be confirmed shortly.

Honk yer horn if you love the footy in Vietnam.
