The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF; Vietnamese: Liên đoàn Bóng đá Việt Nam) is the governing body of football in Vietnam. It is responsible for the all Vietnam teams of association football, futsal and beach soccer as well as national competitions.[6][7]

VFF is currently a member of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA),[8][9] the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF).[10][11][12] Its headquarters is located in Lê Quang Đạo Street, Mỹ Đình 1 ward, Nam Từ Liêm district, Hanoi.

History

In 1960, the Vietnam Football Association was established in the North. Its first president Hà Đăng Ấn, head of Railway Department and a former football star. In the South under control of the Republic of Vietnam, a similar Association was also founded to administer football activities in the South.

Football has been played in Vietnam since the early 20th century, however, due to the war, it had not been developed into a movement. Due to the division of Vietnam, football was played differently in the two parts of the country until 1975.

In 1989, following the Đổi Mới reforms, Vietnamese sports began to return to international events. After three months of preparation, in August 1989, the First Congress of the new football federation took place in Hanoi, declaring Vietnam Football Federation. Trịnh Ngọc Chữ, deputy minister of General Department of Sports, was elected president of VFF and Lê Thế Thọ was appointed general secretary.

In 1994, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) of the second term held a competition to design a new logo.[30][31] The winning design was created by artist Nguyen Ngoc Than.[32][33] The logo features a yellow background, a red triangle, and a stylized football. The red triangle represents the national flag, and the stylized football represents the passion for football in Vietnam. The three letters VFF stand for Vietnam Football Federation.[34]

The current logo of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) features a stylized football with the three letters "VFF" inside it. The football is surrounded by the Vietnamese flag, which is red with a yellow star in the center. The logo was designed to honor the history and development of Vietnamese football, and to show the Federation's commitment to meeting the needs of fans, friends, and international football organizations. It was designed by Nguyen Cong Quang and has been in use since 2008.[35]

On April 28, 2008, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) Executive Committee officially announced the use of the new VFF logo in all related transactions from May 1, 2008. The use of the old logo ended on December 31, 2008.

Rumor

In 2023, rumors circulated on social media that the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) was about to receive up to $120 million to build two stadiums with a capacity of up to 50,000 and 100,000 seats.[36][37][38] According to the source, the two new stadiums could be started in March 2024.[39][40] On November 6, 2023, VFF announced that the funding announcement for the new stadium was completely fabricated.[41][42][43]
