(HBO) – Established in March 2021, the Hoa Binh Football Club with coach Le Quoc Vuong and footballers from reputable training centres across Vietnam has achieved progress, particularly its promotion to Vietnamese National Football First League (Gold Star V.League 2).
Matches before Gold Star V.League 2
offer an opportunity for Hoa Binh FC players to gain experience.
The Gold Start V.League 2 is the second-highest professional
tournament in Vietnam, run by the Vietnam Professional Football joint Stock
Company (VPF). On February 22, the VPF conducted a draw and scheduled the
matches for the 2023 National Cup and the Gold Start V.League 2.
Accordingly, the Gold Start V.League 2 is expected to have the
participation of 11 professional football clubs, namely Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Binh
Phuoc, Binh Thuan, Hoa Binh, Hue, Long An, PVF-CAND, Phu Dong, Phu Tho, Quang
Nam, and Saigon. The tournament will take place from April 7 to August 2023. In
preparation of the tournament, the coaches and the players of Hoa Binh FC are
working hard.
Ahead of Gold Start V.League 2, Hoa Binh FC had two matches
against Phu Tho football club and PVF-CAND football club. Hoa Binh FC won an
overwhelming victory 5 - 2 against Phu Tho FC and drew 0 - 0 with
PVF-CAND.
Hoa Binh FC coach Vuong said that the two matches ahead of
V.League 2 will help sharpen the players’ skills, tactics, and spirit. Moreover, thanks to the matches, the coaching board can find
problems to fix. There is still about one month left until the V.League 2 kicks
off. Hoa Binh FC coach said that the team is completing preparation in training
and personnel. "We will review and consider positions to promptly supplement
and complete the team. In about two weeks, the team will finish the physical
training course," he said.
According to VPF's draw results, in its first match, Hoa Binh FC will face Ba
Ria - Vung Tau. On February 27 afternoon, Vietnamese national team and the
Vietnam U23 team coach Philippe Troussier approved the list of the U23 Vietnam
team. Notably, among the 41 players to be called for the national team, there
are five of Hoa Binh FC, namely Nguyen Duy Dung (goalkeeper), Bui Ngoc Long,
Nguyen Anh Tu, Nguyen Nam Truong (midfielder), and Tran Van Thang (defender). From March 1, the five players must go to the U23 Vietnam team
for training.
Nguyen Xuan Hien, Chairman of Hoa Binh FC, said the call of Hoa
Binh FC's young players to the U23 Vietnam team is both an honour and a
difficulty for the team as this year is the first time it competes in the
V.Leage 2 where it aims to join the top six.
Over the past time, the team has recorded several achievements.
In the coming time, it hopes to continue receiving attention and investment. It
is also hoped that a football training center will be established to recruit
local football talents to provide players for Hoa Binh FC./.
In recent years, Lac Thuy district has paid increasing attention to investing in cultural and sports infrastructure. These grassroots facilities have attracted a large number of residents to participate in recreational and cultural activities, physical training, and community engagement, contributing to the development of cultural life and the local socio-economic growth.
In recent years, the mass physical training and sports (PTS) movement in Hoa Binh province has developed strongly and spread widely. Regardless of age, gender or occupation, people actively participate in physical training, creating a vibrant and enthusiastic sports atmosphere within the community.
Recently, Hoa Binh’s athletes have continued to show strong performances at national-level competitions. Alongside elite athletes, several standout performers have emerged from grassroots sports movements, underlining the province’s growing sports culture.
From April 26 to 27, at the Provincial Sports Arena, the Hoa Binh Provincial Karate Federation organized the 2025 Hoa Binh Open ASUDO Karate Championship.
While modern sports like volleyball and football continue to grow in popularity, traditional folk games and ethnic sports remain a vibrant and essential part of cultural life among the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
A total of 85 young players from across Hoa Binh province recently participated in the provincial Youth Table Tennis Tournament. Organised by the provincial Centre for Youth Activities, the event was part of activities to celebrate the 94th founding anniversary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26, 1931 – 2025) and the 79th anniversary of Vietnam Sports Day (March 27, 1946 – 2025).
