The second leg of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament Playoff Round tie between Australia and Vietnam is set to be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus crisis. 

Cẩm Phả Stadium in the northern Quảng Ninh province of Vietnam is the venue for the match, which is scheduled for Wednesday (March 11). 

Ticket sales have not been opened to the public, with only accredited personnel able to attend, as reported by 24 News.  

"Spectators should not come to the stadium area... and avoid large public gatherings, to ensure effective prevention of the outbreak," a Vietnam Football Federation statement said. 

Vietnam suspended all sporting competitions in the country for February, while this weekend's season-opening football matches in the V.League 1 are being played behind closed doors.

There have been more than 100,000 cases of coronavirus confirmed worldwide, with more than 3,400 deaths. 

Sixteen people were infected in Vietnam, but all have since made a full recovery. 

Australia have a significant lead going into the second leg, having thrashed Vietnam 5-0 in the first leg in Newcastle.

The overall winner of the two matches will book a place at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
