The tournament hopes to lay the foundation for gradually building an HPL (Hanoi Premier League) platform for women’s football and become a new milestone in the development of 7-a-side football in Vietnam.
The goal of the tournament is to create an additional prestigious playground for female footballers, particularly in the increasingly popular 7-a-side format, contributing to spreading the women’s football movement, attracting more attention and investment.
Although it is being held for the first time, the tournament has already gathered 8 strong teams from various provinces and cities across the country, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Tre, and others. These teams are: SV Sư Phạm, Kun Lady, Quê Lụa, Paint Khang Cát, Phù Đổng Bến Tre, DNU, NEU, and UPES1.
In its inaugural season, the organizing committee hopes to promote the spirit of love for football and make a meaningful contribution to the growth, development, and improvement of the standard of women’s football in Vietnam.
Mr. Phạm Ngọc Tuấn, CEO of VietFootball Joint Stock Company and head of the organizing committee, expressed hope that the WVPL-S1 will become a top-tier 7-a-side football competition for women, further boosting the development of women’s football in Vietnam, attracting greater attention from the public, media, and social investment.
At the opening ceremony, Ms. Lê Thị Hoàng Yến, Deputy Director of the General Department of Sports and Physical Training, stated that the tournament will provide a high-quality football platform for women and expressed hope that this will contribute to the development of women’s football.
The tournament will take place from November 9 to November 17 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center.
