Eager to practice, conquer dreams

Head coach Vu Van Trung, the team of Thuy Loi University - the runner-up of TNSV THACO Cup 2024, also a formidable team in both previous TNSV Vietnam football tournaments, said that there is a "specialty" of Thuy Loi University that he is always proud of, which is the desire for officially organized student football tournaments, such as TNSV THACO Cup, so that the players can fully satisfy their passion for the football field.

"The last tournament left many regrets, this time we continue to strive to conquer the highest position. The spirit of the school is always ready to wait for the day the ball rolls, recently we have selected players for the team to supplement the strikers who have graduated. In the past 2 months, nearly 1,000 students have applied for the football talent class and selected players for the team," said Mr. Trung.

Mr. Trung admitted that in the third tournament, his team had to try harder because the competition was fiercer, every team wanted to win a ticket to the finals. This time, training sessions were increased.

The team of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University) - the rookie of the 2024 tournament, although highly appreciated by coaches and student football experts, did not win a place in the final round. "We are eagerly waiting for the TNSV THACO Cup 2025 to realize our unfinished dream. The team is practicing regularly. We hope that in this new season, all players will demonstrate the spirit of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, to participate in the final round, not letting down the fans and those who believe in us", Mr. Huynh Duc Thang, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology Alumni Association (BKA), "boss" of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology student football team, confided.

Coronation joy!

Mr. Thang revealed that last year the players were well-cared for and trained properly, moving towards the professionalism of school football, and this year, everything is even more "pro". The companionship and financial and spiritual support from BKA's seniors helps the players feel secure in practicing and competing with all their might.

Meanwhile, as the defending champion, Mr. Pham Thai Vinh, head coach of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Physical Education and Sports (UPES) team, said that before the 2025 season, the team also had to face certain pressures. The participating teams all had good preparation in terms of personnel and expertise, and everyone was eager to win tickets to the final round. "To realize the journey to defend their throne, UPES must first be present in the 4 teams in the southern region. We are very eager and ready for that goal," said Mr. Vinh.
