My Dinh

My Dinh is a commune (xã) in Tu Liem district, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north-west of central Hanoi, Vietnam. The area can be described as a middle class suburb with a population that includes many expatriate teachers who work in the local schools.

Sports

The area has grown rapidly ever since the 40,192-seat My Dinh National Stadium opened in 2003. The stadium is home to Vietnam's national football team—playing host to international friendly matches—as well as Viettel F.C. (previously known as Thể Công), a football club founded by the Vietnam People's Army. The stadium hosted the 2003 Southeast Asian Games and the 2009 Asian Indoor Games.

Education

My Dinh is becoming an education centre of Hanoi. High schools in the area are The Vietnam-Australia School, Doan Thi Diem School and Le Quy Don Primary School. The Vietnam National University is constructing buildings in the area. My Dinh was formally home to the Hanoi-Korean school which has since relocated.

Economy

The Garden Shopping Mall opened in My Dinh in 2010. Star Fitness opened a gym there in late 2010. A Platinum Cineplex movie complex opened in January of 2011. Crowne Plaza opened a hotel in the area that will service the nearby stadium and convention centre.
