The Budweiser watch party in Ho Chi Minh City was packed with fans watching the World Cup final. Before kickoff, the event energized the atmosphere with interactive mini-games and a performance by the Da LAB band, featuring familiar hits like Thanh Xuan, Tu Ngay Em Den, and Bau Troi Moi.

Vuong Vinh Loc, a long-time Messi fan from Ho Chi Minh City, shared that he took the morning off work to fully enjoy the match. "I've been a Messi fan for a long time," Loc said. "The World Cup occurs once every four years, and this could be Messi's last tournament. It's a rare opportunity I couldn't miss."

Before the match, attendees could sit in separate groups, but once the game started, everyone immersed themselves in every moment of the action on the field.

Throughout over 120 minutes of play, the audience at the Budweiser watch party experienced a full spectrum of emotions with every play. Cheers, head-clutching moments of regret, and celebrations connected strangers who shared a passion for football.

Ferran Torres' sole goal in the 106th minute against Argentina caused the venue to erupt in joy among fans.

Thang, 30, a fan of the Spanish national team from Ho Chi Minh City, commented that Spain maintained good ball possession and created many dangerous opportunities in the match.

Regardless of which team they supported, fans at the Budweiser watch party shared in the joy as the champions lifted the trophy, celebrating their love for football and concluding a World Cup season filled with emotion.
