Kuala Lumpur: Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa has congratulated Vietnam on the rapid strides it has taken in the development of football.
Concluding his recent visit to the AFC Member Association from the ASEAN Zone, the AFC President thanked Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) President Le Hung Dung for Vietnam’s commitment to participation and, in particular, the organisation of AFC competitions.
Shaikh Salman said: “I sincerely thank VFF for organising so many of our tournaments, as Vietnam hosted the finals of the AFC Futsal Club Championship 2017 and many other qualifying competitions in this calendar year.
“The progress is clear to see. This comes only with a capable leadership and stability, for which the VFF President Le Hung Dung deserves credit.
“There is marked progress in club competitions as well as national team competitions - both men’s and women’s, including futsal. We must also recognise the efforts of the VFF to preserve football’s integrity.
“Hopefully in the future, we will see Vietnam being regulars in Asian Cup finals and the AFC Champions League.”
