Herbalife Vietnam, one of the leading health and fitness companies, has collaborated with the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) to organize a training session on “Optimizing Performance and Recovery for Players through Sports Nutrition” for football coaches and fitness experts. This initiative is part of a long-term cooperation program between Herbalife Vietnam and VFF from 2021 with the aim of improving the physical strength, endurance and recovery of Vietnamese football players through sponsoring science-based nutrition products and sharing knowledge on nutrition and sports performance.

The training session was coached by Dr. Julián Álvarez, Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Committee Member, a renowned sports science and nutrition expert from Spain. With decades of experience working with top athletes and football teams, Dr. Álvarez shared useful scientific knowledge on sports nutrition for football players at all levels.

The training content includes the following main topics:

• Develop a soccer-specific diet to optimize energy and recovery

• Use safe and effective dietary supplements according to NSF and WADA standards

• Hydration and nutrition strategies before, during, and after exercise

• Nutrition management for athletes during travel and competition

Representative of Vietnam Football Federation, Mr. Nguyen Van Phu, General Secretary, said: "Herbalife's companionship has contributed to bringing useful sports nutrition knowledge from international experts. Vietnam Football Federation would like to thank Herbalife Vietnam for coordinating the organization of the training session, helping to equip scientific nutrition knowledge and daily practice instructions, contributing to improving endurance and performance for players."

“This training session is part of our long-term partnership with the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) with the common goal of making a practical contribution to the development of Vietnamese football. We believe that being regularly equipped with practical guidance on how to apply scientific nutrition before, during and after training and competition will help football players improve their physical strength and endurance, thereby achieving optimal performance,” said Mr. Vu Van Thang, General Director of Herbalife Vietnam and Cambodia.

Herbalife Vietnam also accompanied the Vietnam Olympic Committee to organize another training session on sports nutrition with the participation of Dr. Julián Álvarez García on November 17, 2025.
