Football tournament of overseas Vietnamese in UK

This is the first tournament hosted by the Overseas Vietnamese Association in the UK (VAUK) with support of the Vietnamese Embassy in the UK and North Ireland, representative office of Vietnam Airlines and many businesses, entrepreneurs and restaurants of Vietnamese people in the country.

Mr. Luong Son Thanh, Chairman of VAUK, said that the tournament would be organized annually to strengthen cohesion of overseas Vietnamese people across the UK.
