U.22 Vietnam and Chinese tournament organizers entangled in false rumors: VFF strongly refutes

From March 17, the Vietnam U.22 team under the leadership of interim coach Dinh Hong Vinh, left for Jiangsu, China to participate in the CFA Team China 2025 international U.22 football tournament, at the invitation of the Chinese Football Association.

Here, U.22 Vietnam is playing very well. In the opening match, Nguyen Quoc Viet and his teammates drew 1-1 with U.22 Korea, leading the opponent until the last minutes.

In the second match, U.22 Vietnam drew 0-0 with U.22 Uzbekistan, also one of the strongest teams in Asia. In the final match on March 25, coach Dinh Hong Vinh and his team will compete with host U.22 China, thereby concluding the training trip.

In the past few days, on some social networking sites, there has been information about the tournament's Organizing Committee (OC) related to the issue of Vietnam's national sovereignty. These sites also fabricated information about the statement of interim coach Dinh Hong Vinh.

Fabricated information related to U.22 Vietnam has seriously violated the law.

On March 24, VFF officially announced the following content: "Accepting the invitation of the Chinese Football Association (CFA), from March 17, the Vietnam U.22 team, under the leadership of acting head coach Dinh Hong Vinh, has left for Jiangsu - China to participate in the international U.22 football tournament CFA Team China 2025.

From the moment the U.22 Vietnam team arrived at the tournament venue (Yancheng, Jiangsu) as well as throughout the training and competition period, the tournament's organizing committee welcomed them very attentively and created all favorable conditions.

So far, the team has played two matches against U.22 Korea and U.22 Uzbekistan, and on March 25 will meet host U.22 China. VFF and the U.22 Vietnam team affirmed that the professional activities, implemented by the Organizing Committee, that the U.22 Vietnam team participated in all complied with the general regulations of the tournament and international practices, in accordance with the regulations on statements and use of images according to the tasks assigned by VFF.

The use of images of the Vietnam national team/U.22 national team by news sites without the consent of VFF is a serious violation of the law. Some images are completely fabricated for bad purposes, causing misunderstanding in public opinion and affecting the reputation of international sports relations.

All official information related to the activities of Vietnamese football in general, and the U.22 Vietnam team in particular, will continue to be updated through VFF's media channels and reputable media and press agencies. Fans are advised to follow information from official sources before sharing, to avoid supporting false content that violates the law."
