This year's tournament is the largest in scale with 196 football teams and nearly 5,000 players participating, from Binh Duong, Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces.
This 11-a-side tournament is considered the largest in the country and continues to affirm its position as the leading community sports festival in the Southern region.
After 17 seasons of professional organization, the tournament has become the largest community playground in the country for workers, with this year marking a record of 196 participating teams.
The tournament's renaming shows Becamex's new vision and long-term commitment to taking care of the spiritual life of workers and connecting communities in the key economic region of the South.
We believe that this year's season will be vibrant, attractive and successful," said Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh Huy - Deputy General Director of Becamex Group.
This year's tournament is held on 4 clusters with the qualifying format selecting 16 teams to enter the final round. The total prize value for the final round is up to more than 200 million VND, of which the champion team received 100 million VND. In addition, the teams are also supported with competition funding and are equipped with uniforms by the organizing committee.
Over the past 18 years, the tournament has continuously developed and become a playground and annual meeting place for young people who love football. The tournament is increasingly improved in quality and professionalism, including the cooperation of participating teams.
In particular, this year's tournament took place in the context of implementing the decision to merge Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau, opening up many new opportunities for connection and exchange between localities.
The community football tournament will have more conditions for strong development, becoming a meaningful meeting place for workers in the key economic region of the South", Mr. Vu Duc Thanh - Chairman of Binh Duong Football Federation shared.
With careful preparation, professional organization, and increasingly improved professional quality, the tournament promises to continue to bring attractive competitions, contributing to the sustainable development of the community sports movement.
