The Vietnam Youth and Student Football Tournament is an annual event organized by Thanh Nien Newspaper in collaboration with the Vietnam Football Federation. This year, the tournament attracted 67 universities, colleges, and academies nationwide, along with new adjustments to the tournament regulations. Notably, each team can register a maximum of 3 student players who have participated in national U.19 and U.21 tournaments, contributing to increased professionalism and excitement in the matches.

Mr. Nguyen Mot - Senior Director in charge of Culture and Communications at THACO, delivered a speech at the ceremony.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Mot - Senior Director in charge of Culture and Communications at THACO, said: “I believe that in every person's life, there are two things that make us anxiously anticipate: a date with a loved one and watching a football match. This shows that football has become an indispensable part of life, bringing about emotions that only love can create. Football is about restraining anger and letting emotions soar. Balancing these two things is very difficult, like water and fire, stone and cotton, because anger is instinct, restraint is character, and managing emotions also requires reason. Football helps each person cultivate character and create moments of exhilaration.”

“THACO always pays special attention to young people because the strength of the nation lies in its youth. Among them, students are the core force, the greatest asset of the nation. Youth is an asset, and students are the core of that asset. Besides studying, students need a playground to hone their character, develop their emotions, and express their creativity. Football is the ideal playground to realize that,” Mr. Nguyen Mot added.
