The Football for Hope adidas Exchange Programme commenced in the central city of Hue on November 26, with the participation of 16 non-governmental organisations from Asia and Australia (continent).
Launched in 2010 by FIFA and adidas group, the programme provides a platform for organisations active in social development through football to exchange and develop expertise and capacities vital for effective programme delivery and their overall operation.
The event in Vietnam this year, hosted by Football For All in Vietnam (FFAV), features a workshop on “Development through football in schools” and a coaching seminar using the Coerver coaching method.
Participants will also visit local social welfare centres and join disabled children in a football festival.
