Organised by the Vietnamese Association in the UK (VAUK), this year’s competition saw Xom (Hamlet) team from London winning the first prize. Meanwhile, for the first time, it featured a children’s championship, with FC Longdan declared the winner.
Those who scored the most or demonstrated excellent goalkeeping, among others, were also awarded.
VAUK President Tang Tuan Tu said the tournament aimed to foster unity among the Vietnamese expatriates, promote their sportsmanship, and enhance the image of the community.
The 2024 edition was rounded off with a gala dinner, where an auction of paintings and handicrafts raised a total of GBP5,300 (some US$7,000) for the community’s educational fund.
