The miracle of the new recruit of Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics
The Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics (UEH) football team is one of the new players participating in the 3rd Vietnam Youth Student Football Tournament - 2025 THACO Cup (TNSV THACO Cup 2025), immediately creating a very strong impression.
In the group stage, the UEH team opened with a 2-0 victory over the Vietnam Aviation Academy, then defeated the University of Natural Sciences (Ho Chi Minh City National University) 4-1, before holding the "big guy" Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education to a 1-1 draw.
Entering the play-off round, coach Tran Dinh Thanh and his team had a difficult match, when they were led by a very strong team, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, in the 23rd minute (Nguyen Huynh Minh Duy scored) and created a lot of pressure.
The joy of victory of UEH players
But with the determination of the whole team and the spirit of not giving up, the UEH team had a spectacular equalizer in the 80+2 minute thanks to Le Tan Tai, helping them regain hope. Then in the tense "shootout", the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics team won 5-4 to win the precious ticket to the final round in their first appearance.
After the moment of bursting with joy with the breathtaking victory, Coach Tran Dinh Thanh choked with happiness: "At this moment, my whole team and I are filled with happiness, I don't know how to describe it, but we are all very happy and proud.
We are proud to have done what we determined from the beginning: to treat every match as a final, to give our all with the utmost respect for every opponent and for the players to confidently demonstrate their abilities.

UEH League: Pioneering model in Ho Chi Minh City
So what is the driving force behind the miracle that helped Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics win a ticket to the final round in its first participation in the qualifying round. Ho Chi Minh City is considered the most fierce in Vietnam, witnessing a series of "big names" falling out such as Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry, Van Lang University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Transport?
Bringing this question to Head Coach Tran Dinh Thanh, the answer came in mid-2023 when Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Quang Hung - Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, hatched a model to build an internal tournament system for UEH students.

After half a year of incubation and preparation, in early 2024, UEH officially launched the UEH League internal tournament model - with a round-robin competition scale, 2 home and away matches, appearing for the first time in Ho Chi Minh City.

To increase competitiveness, UEH League also applies promotion and relegation, when the 2 bottom-ranked teams will have to play a play-off round with the remaining teams to compete for 2 spots to compete with 8 UEH League teams in the next season.
Assoc.Prof.Dr. Bui Quang Hung delivered a closing speech at the UEH League.

Coach Tran Dinh Thanh said: "UEH League is new but has been carefully invested in, has awards for the best goal and player in each round, has its own fanpage and organizes live streaming of each round.
UEH League matches are held every Sunday on the 7-a-side football field on campus on Nguyen Van Linh Street. For the convenience of students, the Organizing Committee has just announced that the next season's matches will take place on Saturday and Sunday.
Like the UEH League 2024, each team will play 2 home and away matches, a total of 18 matches. The champion of the International Training Institute (ISB) will play 2 more semi-finals and the final, with up to 20 matches, contributing up to 70% of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics team participating in the Ho Chi Minh City regional qualifying round for the first time.
It is known that, according to the writer's records, the first football team in Vietnam to build a systematic and professional internal tournament system is the National Economics University with the NEU League preparing to enter its 6th season. The UEH League of the University of Economics, Ho Chi Minh City is the first internal league model of universities, colleges, and academies in Ho Chi Minh City.
