(VFF), 6 clubs (Dong Tam Long An, Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Hanoi ACB, Vissai Ninh Binh, Khatoco Khanh Hoa and Lam Son Thanh Hoa) threatened to leave the league and form an entirely new league for the 2012 season. The most out spoken club in the move was Hanoi ACB, who were going through relegation from the V-League, with its chairman Nguyen Duc Kien announcing that ACB would spearhead the move. Due to the controversy, league sponsor EximBank expressed its intention to drop its title sponsorship of the league. League officials scrambled to resolve the issues, going as far as hiring foreign referees for the 2012 season.
After a meeting on Sep. 29, representatives of the VFF and the 14 V-League teams and 14 First Division teams announced the formation of a new corporation, the Vietnam Professional Football Company, to manage the V-League. The VFF would hold a 36% stake in the new corporation, and the rest would be held by clubs.
