  Strengthening cooperation with FIFA, AFC... VFF gives wings to Vietnamese football

In particular, President Tran Quoc Tuan had an important discussion with President of the Brazilian Football Confederation Ednaldo Rodrigues, discussing the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding between VFF and the Brazilian Football Confederation, signed last March during the State visit to Vietnam by President of the Federative Republic of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

In the content of this Memorandum of Understanding, the two sides commit to strengthening cooperation in many areas to promote the development of Vietnamese and Brazilian football, emphasizing the coordination of organizing regional and international football meetings and conferences; exchanging experts, coaches, and teams at all levels; and sharing experiences in managing and organizing professional tournaments. In addition, the Memorandum of Understanding also mentions supporting the national teams of the two countries in training, friendly matches, as well as creating opportunities for youth teams (from U21 and below) to participate in international tournaments. Cooperation programs also include knowledge exchange activities in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and football facility management.

The 75th FIFA Congress was attended by representatives from more than 200 member associations around the world . One of the key issues of the Congress was the adoption of the revised Disciplinary Code, which aims to strengthen the ability to deal with racist and abusive behaviour, with close coordination from 211 member associations. In addition, the Congress also approved new regulations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, ensuring the organization of these tournaments is efficient and fair.
