With the direction of the Ministry of Public Security and other ministries, along with the active and proactive participation of the private sector, in which the two main sponsors are SHB and T&T Group, the 2025 ASEAN Open Police Football Tournament has once again told a good story about Vietnam, to design another layer of depth in the overall architecture of the national brand.

FIFA referees officiate the match
In addition to economic and cultural efforts, Vietnam has also made remarkable progress in recent years: football. After 2018, Vietnamese football has reached many memorable milestones: the U.23 Vietnam team won the runner-up position for the first time at the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship, creating an earthquake with an impressive performance against top teams such as Qatar, Syria, Iraq and Uzbekistan. The Vietnam Olympic team also achieved a top 4 finish at the 2018 ASIAD, contributing to raising the position of Vietnamese football in the Asian arena.
Most importantly, the Vietnam national team won the AFF Cup 2018 after 10 years of waiting, marking the return of Vietnam as a major force in Southeast Asian football. In that common success, in addition to the successful management of sports workers and the Vietnam Football Federation, it is impossible not to mention the important role of businesses and individuals. Mr. Hien, Chairman of SHB, has made a great and comprehensive contribution to the successful period of Vietnamese football from 2018 to present, through strong and methodical investment in many aspects.
He is the owner and founder of the youth training system and two major clubs, Hanoi FC and SHB Da Nang, which have trained many key stars of the national team such as Quang Hai, Do Duy Manh, Van Hau, Hung Dung, Nguyen Thanh Chung... These players have made important contributions to historical achievements such as runner-up of the 2018 U.23 Asian Cup, champion of the 2018 AFF Cup, gold medal of the SEA Games in 2019 and 2021, as well as the championship of the 2024 AFF Cup.
The SHB Chairman also demonstrated his strategic vision by generously sponsoring and rewarding the Vietnamese team with 2 billion VND for winning the ASEAN Cup 2024 and, together with SHB, sponsoring the entire cost of hiring a private plane to transport 600 fans to Thailand to cheer on the team, creating great spiritual motivation for the players on away matches.
His perseverance, focus on long-term development and timeless vision for Vietnamese football contributed to building a solid foundation for the national team to achieve peak success in the past decade. And it indirectly contributed to the overall success of the national brand for Vietnam in the past decade.
