The pride of Ca Mau Peninsula

In September 2025, amateur football fans nationwide will turn their attention to Ho Chi Minh City to watch a special event: the 3rd National DHF-S3 Hometown Association Football Tournament.

• Football competition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Vietnam's revolutionary press.
• Exciting Football Tournament to Commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Vietnam's Revolutionary Press Day

Taking place from September 7-21, 2025 at PM Sport Stadium (Tan Son, Tan Binh, Ho Chi Minh City), the tournament brings together dozens of the strongest hometown teams representing many provinces and cities from North to South. More than just a sporting competition, DHF-S3 also carries the mission of connecting the community and fostering a spirit of solidarity among those who have left their hometowns. Every goal, every beautiful play is not just a professional achievement, but also a source of pride for the entire team.

This year, Ca Mau is participating in DHF-S3 with a strong contingent of 20 players and coaching staff. This team brings together the most outstanding figures in grassroots football in the southernmost region, carefully selected through numerous regional tournaments.

The squad list includes many names familiar to fans: Sang Chez, Kiet Nhoc, Viet Anh, Toi Ve So, An Ninh, Cong Tung, Tien Cua… along with many experienced players and promising young talents.

Each member not only represents skill and competitive spirit, but also carries the mission of affirming their character, willpower, and love for their homeland. Each member has their own story, a different journey, but all share a common aspiration to bring the image of Ca Mau to the national football stage.

To qualify for DHF-S3, the Ca Mau hometown team had to endure tense and dramatic matches in the Western region. Their recent championship title in the Western Region Hometown Association (Mekong Delta) tournament is the clearest evidence of the players' skill and talent. This victory earned Ca Mau a valuable ticket to the national competition. This is not only a reward for the efforts of the 20 players and coaching staff, but also a source of joy and pride for the entire Ca Mau hometown community both within and outside the province.

Behind the team's success, the partnership of Phuoc Thanh Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company cannot be overlooked. In recent years, Phuoc Thanh has repeatedly made its mark by hosting or sponsoring amateur football tournaments: from the S7 Ca Mau Open 2024, the Dat Mui 7-a-side Super Cup, to the Ca Mau Provincial Club Championship and children's tournaments. Each event is not just a simple sporting activity, but also a commitment from the company to engage with and develop the community.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thuan, Deputy Director of Phuoc Thanh Company, also affectionately known as "Chairman Thuan," is the person who initiated, organized, and inspired the hometown football team. He shared: "I want the people of Ca Mau living far from home to have a place to connect, to contribute to sports together, and to affirm that we can achieve great things. The DHF-S3 tournament is a great opportunity to showcase the character, camaraderie, and aspirations of Ca Mau football."

What makes the DHF-S3 tournament special isn't the title, but the spirit of camaraderie. It's a place where people far from home meet, cheer each other on, and together write a proud story. With 20 players and coaching staff, each match for Ca Mau in the tournament is not only an opportunity to showcase their talent, but also a mission: "To spread the image of the resilient, sincere, and passionate people of Ca Mau to friends everywhere."

The road ahead will certainly not be easy. DHF-S3 brings together the strongest teams nationwide, with diverse and highly competitive playing styles. However, the greater the challenge, the higher the determination. The Ca Mau team has prepared thoroughly in terms of physical fitness, tactics, and spirit. They enter the tournament with the mindset: "Respect the opponent, but do not fear anyone." Fans believe that, with the support of Phuoc Thanh and the encouragement from the community, the team will create memorable moments at DHF-S3.

Supporting grassroots football is just one part of Phuoc Thanh's sustainable development strategy. As a reputable company in the housing construction sector in Ca Mau, Phuoc Thanh is always clearly aware of its responsibility to the community. Beyond sports, Phuoc Thanh also participates in many charitable activities, collaborates with media agencies, and organizes cultural events. Most recently, the company sponsored the 2025 Southern Hau River Media Agencies Sports Festival, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam's Revolutionary Press Day. All of this affirms the philosophy: "Business is linked to social contribution."

In just a few days, the ball will officially roll on the PM Sport pitch in Ho Chi Minh City, marking the beginning of the dramatic and emotional journey of the 3rd National Hometown Association Football Tournament DHF-S3. With a cohesive team of passionate players and coaching staff, Ca Mau enters the tournament not only to compete, but also to affirm their sense of community, aspirations, and pride in their homeland. And on this journey, Phuoc Thanh Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company is a silent but persistent partner, fueling the team, nurturing the sports movement, and spreading the image of the people of Ca Mau to the whole country.

20 warriors - 1 team - The pride of Ca Mau at DHF-S3.
