The announcement ceremony of the sponsor and launch of the national 7-a-side football championship VPL-S4 took place in Hanoi this morning, May 24. The year 2023 especially marks the 10-year journey of building and developing the 7-a-side football format (VPL) in Vietnam with the first tournament of the Hanoi Premier League (HPL).
VPL is known as the leading and prestigious 7-a-side football tournament in Vietnam and has contributed to promoting this format over the past 10 years. The 7-a-side football format has long been considered a unique and interesting platform for Vietnamese football lovers, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their passion, talent and skills for football.
VFF awarded a certificate of merit in recognition of the contribution of the 7-a-side playground to Vietnamese football.
During this time, 7-a-side football has grown into a national tournament. In 2022, Vietnam will host the Southeast Asian 7-a-side football tournament with the participation of 3 representatives from Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The tournament has created a positive effect not only in Vietnam but also aroused passion for a new form of football in countries in the region.
At the ceremony, Ms. Nguyen Thanh Ha - Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnam Football Federation shared: " The first 10 years were an extremely difficult journey for VietFootball to achieve today. We witnessed the national 7-a-side football tournament attracting the attention of the audience to the stadium to cheer and follow on social media platforms.
VFF highly appreciates VietFootball's support over the past 10 years, especially in building a stronger and more sustainable 7-a-side football system, contributing to promoting the development of grassroots football in Vietnam ."
This year's VPL-S4 season will take place in 3 regions: Northern region HPL-S10, Southern region SPL-S5 in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces and Western region, Central region and Central Highlands DPL-S2 in Dak Lak . It is expected that the 8 strongest teams representing the regions will compete in the national final round taking place in August.
With the support and coordination from the General Department of Sports and Physical Training, Vietnam Football Federation, Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the cooperation of the whole community, along with accompanying units and special sponsors, especially Saigon Beer, VPL-S4 on a national scale in its 4th year will continue to play a meaningful role in spreading the spirit of loving football and practicing sports in Vietnam.
