The event, held by the Vietnam – Japan international exchange organisation (FAVIJA) under the sponsorship of the Vietnamese Embassy and local administrations, saw the teams simultaneously play across eight pitches at Resland Sports Complex.
FC T-Connect Binh Dinh claimed the championship title after a series of competitive matches, with FC Asahi securing the second place. Meanwhile, FC ISC and FC Uni-co Hai Phong shared the third place.
The tournament introduced an innovative cultural integration element by allowing each team to register up to two Japanese players and three Vietnamese football stars, exemplifying the growing ties between Vietnamese expatriates and local Japanese communities.
According to FAVIJA President Do Quang Ba, beyond physical fitness, this tournament creates a healthy environment for Vietnamese expatriates to strengthen community bonds and support one another while living abroad.
The championship, with its qualification running from March 17 to October 27, drew a record participation of 232 teams nationwide.
