FIFA and AFC Presidents to visit Vietnam

The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) announced on July 3 that FIFA and AFC Presidents Sepp Blatter and Mohamed Bin Hammam will visit Vietnam from July 31 to August 1.

The two presidents are expected to attend the inauguration of three artificial grass football grounds built at the My Dinh National Sports Complex to train young footballers.

With the FIFA’s support in the second phase of its Goal Project to foster football in developing countries including Vietnam, the construction of a centre for training young footballers was launched in September 2006.

The project is funded by different sources in which artificial grass grounds received direct investment and implementation from the FIFA.
