On the morning of December 7, the final match that ended the season brought people from all the villages and hamlets of Binh Lieu to Huc Dong Stadium from early morning. The entrance to the stadium was packed with people, the sound of laughter mixed with the sound of drums and trumpets, and loudspeakers calling people to watch the football match.
Among the eager crowd were old men and women leaning on canes and wearing warm coats, but their eyes were young with the joy of being on the field to cheer on their grandchildren. The gentle sunshine of the highlands and the cool breeze blowing across the mountainside made the whole space seem to awaken to the rhythm of the ball rolling.
On the field, the image of female players wearing traditional costumes and then putting on shoes and walking onto the field becomes a unique and attractive highlight. The dresses of San Chi, Dao Thanh Y, Dao Thanh Phan, San Diu, Tay, Cao Lan… with vibrant patterns and colors turn the Huc Dong grass into a lively “carpet of motifs”.
In each fight, each kick, the skirts, belts, and headscarves sway to the rhythm of the run, creating a frame that is both strong and soft, a visual emotion rarely seen in an amateur football tournament.
Slips and falls on the wet grass happen often, especially when players are competing fiercely. But that is also when the sportsmanship of the highland women is clearly shown: when falling down, they quickly put their hands on the ground to stand up, quickly brush the dirt off their clothes and then rush to the ball like true warriors. The emotional celebrations of the girls on the field also made the audience explode. Not inferior to men, girls also confidently dribble the ball on the field to create breakthroughs and score goals. After the break, the baby was held by his mother before going back out onto the field.
Not only on the field, on digital platforms, the tournament reached nearly 1 million views, exploded in the media with many million-view clips, created a strong viral effect, and received a lot of attention and support from audiences across the country. The images of teachers, mothers, female workers, village cadres joining a football team, along with the image of the border stands resplendent with national colors, will be the profound impressions that the tournament has left. It was these images that created the "million-view football tournament in the highlands of Binh Lieu", where football became the glue that connected the community, honored identity and gave more opportunities for women in the highlands to step onto the podium of glory.
