The event was not only a professional success, but also left a deep impression in the hearts of international friends because of its spirit of organizational methods, friendly atmosphere, and the image of a modern, humane, and responsible Vietnam for the regional community.
Fans saw beautiful goals, enthusiastic cheers, and brilliant performances of ASEAN identity. Behind that layer of light, there is a Vietnam that is integrating through concrete actions - through careful preparation, close coordination and deep support from the silent forces, contributing to creating a tournament that is not only successful but also has strategic depth.
From sports to international integration message
This year's tournament is held on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the People's Public Security Traditional Day and the 20th anniversary of the National Security Protection Day, in the context that Vietnam is actively implementing major policies on comprehensive international integration, following the orientation of Resolution 59-NQ/TW of the Politburo.
The Resolution emphasizes that integration is not only a high-level diplomatic commitment or multilateral economic agreement, but a comprehensive process, related to all areas of social life - from security, defense, education, science, technology, to sports and culture. In which, people and businesses are identified as the center, the creative subject.
Sports with the ability to connect, spread emotions and cross national borders - has become an effective soft foreign tool. Through the 2025 ASEAN Police and Police Football Tournament, Vietnam has demonstrated its leading, proactive, and responsible role in the regional community with dedicated preparation and civilized organization.
It is not difficult to see the detailed beauty in the way Vietnam organizes this event: from a clean and beautiful stadium, an effectively arranged security and health system, to each meal suitable for international tastes, stops to visit many cultural values, and smooth exchange activities between the groups.
Friendly atmosphere, thoughtfulness, open spirit - all blend together to create a true sports exchange environment. One referee shared: "I have been on duty many times in Vietnam, but have never felt so professionally and approachable."
One player from Cambodia was impressed by the Vietnamese culinary culture, others will always remember the moment of visiting Ha Long Bay, while the groups from Singapore and Australia recorded a warm welcome, creating the best conditions for the teams to compete in a relaxed and enthusiastic mood.
After school for professionalism: The value lies in what is not seen
Behind the memorable experiences is a silent but methodical operating system - with hundreds of logistics officers, coordination, interpretation, communication, security, health and volunteer forces working tirelessly to ensure each ceremony and each match takes place smoothly and completely.
In that work, there is smooth coordination from authorities, professional units, and close and in-depth support from domestic economic organizations. In particular, the main sponsors of the tournament SHB and T&T Group played an important role in ensuring the conditions for organization, logistics, culture and communication. Not showing off, not standing in the center of the stage, they are present in the most necessary places - where there must be standards, responsibility and experience in professional organization.
A special highlight of the tournament is the elaborately staged opening ceremony, with cultural depth and rich regional art. On the background of connecting music, the joint performances of nearly 200 staff from participating support units and dozens of children from the SHB FC Academy football training program - alongside professional artists - have left an indelible mark on international friends.
The performers are not artists, they are employees from banks, businesses accompanying SHB and T&T Group, those who spend time every week after work practicing, just to appear for a few minutes on stage, but enough to show one thing: We are proud to represent the country, with kindness, discipline, passion.
The way such accompanying units choose to appear, not with a big brand, but with practical actions, is a testament to the model of creating businesses that Vietnam is encouraging.
Connecting the region with good and sustainable things
The 2025 ASEAN Police and Police Football Tournament is not only a place for sports exchange, but also a soft symbol for Vietnam's integration capacity in the new context. When the country not only conquers its partners through economic indicators, but also through organization, preparation, openness and its own identity.
And to do that, it is necessary to have the cooperation of all forces in society - including accompanying businesses, choosing to be present in depth, responsibly, and with the spirit of national resonance.
Comprehensive international integration, therefore, is no longer a slogan, but is gradually becoming a "lifefestyle" - shaped by the way of organizing each event, each small story, each match and each smile of international friends leaving Vietnam with an unforgettable impression.
