Futsal tourney promotes solidarity among Vietnamese expats in Malaysia

VOV.VN - A men’s futsal tournament was organised on June 18 by the Malaysia-Vietnam Friendship Association (MVFA) in the Malaysian state of Selangor, aiming to boost the building of a cohesive Overseas Vietnamese (OV) community.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Malaysia Dinh Ngoc Linh appreciated the idea to host the tournament, which he said helps to create a useful playground for the Vietnamese community and enhance the spirit of solidarity.

The tournament attracted 50 players from five teams from across the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor state. The majority of players were Vietnamese labourers working in different sectors throughout Malaysia.

The annual sporting activity has been undertaken by the MVFA to create a playground for Vietnamese expats in Malaysia, especially young people, to hold exchanges, strengthen solidarity, and promote the sports movement to improve health and fitness.

Established on March 8, 2022, the MVFA is an organisation representing the Vietnamese community in Malaysia. It acts as a bridge to connect Vietnamese expats in Malaysia and the Vietnamese Embassy in their host country.
