Football in Vietnam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sport of football in the country of Vietnam is ran by the Vietnam Football Federation. The federation administers the Vietnam national football team, as well as the V-League.
Football is unarguably the main and most supported sport in Vietnam. Its annual V-League competition has taken place since 1980 till now (except in 1988 and 1999).
When Vietnam was split into North Vietnam and South Vietnam, two national teams existed; the North Vietnamese team was not very active, playing almost exclusively other Communist countries between 1956 and 1966 whilst the South Vietnamese team took part in the first two Asian Cups finals, finishing fourth both times.
