With a total investment of 19.5 billion VND (about 936,000 USD), of which 17.6 billion VND is from the sponsor and the rest from the local budget, the project will fuel the operation of the province’s 120 existing clubs with focus on providing training courses for club coaches and referees, and organizing tournaments of all levels.
Under the project, two clubs for disadvantaged children will also be equipped with football gears. As many as 10 new clubs are expected to be established each year, with the aim of getting more children to play the game.
