[THROWBACK] Foot for Hope 2024 - Hanoi

21 November 2024

On November 16th, the radiant Hanoi sun set the stage for the exhilarating Foot for Hope 2024! Organized by the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam (CCIFV) for the past 10 years, this iconic charity tournament took place at the impressive Lycée Français Alexandre Yersin’s stadium.

The event united passionate players and enthusiastic supporters for a thrilling day of sport and philanthropy, featuring 20 teams and over 240 players, including Aden, ANSV, APE (Parents’ Association of Lycée Alexandre Yersin), BBraun, Bureau Veritas, Gameloft, Greenyellow, Hanoi French Hospital, HPID, K+, Messer, Openasia, Saint-Honoré, Socotec, Thales – AESC, Tripsoft, VATM, VietjetAir, VNPT, and Willgo Travel.

We were honored to welcome H.E. Mr. Olivier Brochet, Ambassador of France to Vietnam, and Mr. Kim Sang-Sik, Head Coach of the Vietnam national football team. Their presence added an exceptional touch to the day's festivities, highlighting the values of solidarity and sportsmanship.

From the opening whistle to the exhilarating final match, the atmosphere was electric as our teams showcased teamwork and friendly competition. This year's tournament held special significance as it supported Coup de Pouce Vietnam, an organization dedicated to uplifting underprivileged children. The funds raised are vital for sustaining their impactful programs.

For the second consecutive year, Team Vietjet claimed victory, floating their skill and determination. Congratulations to all 20 teams for their remarkable enthusiasm and spirit! Special accolades to:
