Hidden behind the image of the gentle and charming women are such outstanding strength, strong willpower, beautiful soul and intelligence that remain the national pride, he said.
“The national women’s football team is not only the pride of the sport cause and football in Vietnam but also Southeast Asia,” he said, adding that the players have taken the good traditional values of Vietnamese women to a new height in the era of international integration.
How they surmounted such inconceivable difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to earn a berth at the Women’s World Cup is a perfect example of the journey to break gender stereotypes, he said, adding that the girls writing a new chapter for Vietnam’s football history has become a source of inspiration for the nation.
He also took the occasion to honour Coach Mai Duc Chung for persistently developing and guiding the female players for years after years, making his way into the heart of Vietnamese football fans.
