Megastar United, a new professional football club, made its first official public appearance on April 20 at a stadium in Ha Dong district, Hanoi .

The club’s players will be kitted out in mainly red and blue, with yellow as an alternate colour. The 24-player club was established by the Megastar United Football Development Co. Ltd., and is built from players who netted third prize in the national U19 competition.

Plans are to participate in Vietnam’s second division football tournament, where it will compete first with the Public Security Football Squad.

The club’s president Le Van Toan said Megastar United has set as its goal to develop into a football training centre in coordination with foreign clubs to increase its strengths along with enriching potential human resources for Vietnamese football./.
