HAGL plan to resume home matches at Pleiku Stadium in round five of the 2026/27 V.League season. BongdaPlus quotes team official Nguyễn Tấn Anh as identifying the SLNA fixture, scheduled for 17:00 on 23 October, as the intended return. He says drier conditions in Gia Lai have helped the playing surface dry out.

Why the team used an alternative venue

Pleiku's surface deteriorated during the round-two match against Hải Phòng. The report describes conditions that affected the quality of play and the competition's presentation, prompting HAGL to seek another home ground.

The club subsequently requested Quy Nhơn Stadium for the National Cup preliminary round and V.League round three. The new announcement therefore supplies a return date following that temporary arrangement.

Nguyễn Tấn Anh attributes the improvement to the arrival of the dry season. His comments explain the club's planning, although the article does not present a separate new inspection certificate.

An away fixture comes first

HAGL are due to visit Ninh Bình in round four before hosting SLNA. That sequence places an away trip between their temporary home-ground arrangements and the planned round-five return.

For supporters, the practical update concerns the venue and timing of the SLNA match. As of the 15 October report, the game at Pleiku had not taken place.

BongdaPlus also notes supporters' interest in seeing the pitch restored to a better condition. The announced schedule establishes the club's intention, while the actual playing conditions will become apparent when home matches resume.
