In January 2024, to improve the medical work for the team, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) decided to establish a Sports Medicine Department under the direct responsibility of Mr. Nguyen Van Phu, member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Medical Committee and Deputy Head of the VFF Medical Committee. The establishment of the Sports Medicine Department laid the first brick in building a systematic and professional medical system of the VFF.
Athletes get better care when they have problems
Although newly established, in 2024, the VFF sports medicine field has operated effectively when the Orthopedic Trauma and Sports Medicine Center was officially recognized as a Sports Medicine Center of Excellence according to AFC standards, and VFF hosted the AFC sports medicine conference.
In addition, the VFF Medical Department has proactively provided training and professional training in sports medicine and anti-doping testing according to AFC standards for all medical staff serving in national teams and the VFF competition system.
The Sports Medicine Department is extremely efficient.
Focusing on medical work, VFF also invests and coordinates with leading medical units and experts to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate injuries for players. VFF Medical Board, Sports Medicine Department coordinates with Vinmec International Hospital in receiving treatment, providing medical support for national teams, training all medical staff at athlete training units and football clubs nationwide.
At the same time, cooperation in sports medicine with medical facilities equipped with modern equipment in treating injuries and rehabilitating teams is also being expanded.
