Emotional 'commitment' to ask parents to let goalkeeper of Vietnam women's national football team practice football

“ Dear grandparents and parents, I am Dao Thi Kieu Oanh, I wish to study soccer in Ha Dong. I have asked my grandparents and parents for their opinions and have been allowed to study there. After a trial year, if I feel that my academic performance is declining, my parents will transfer me back.

I promise that when I go out there, I will study hard and not go out. After sports classes, I will focus on studying culture. At the end of the year, I will become an excellent student or an advanced student. If I cannot do that, I will come back home, ” Dao Thi Kieu Oanh wrote in her application to her family.

The commitment with the above content was written on July 17, 2015, coinciding with the time when Hanoi Women's Club recruited a new generation of players. The person who wrote the commitment was goalkeeper Dao Thi Kieu Oanh - a member of the Vietnam women's team participating in the 2023 Women's World Cup.

Even Kieu Oanh's close teammates like Thanh Nha, Van Su, Hai Linh and Vu Thi Hoa know about this "commitment". Thanh Nha said: " This is a real commitment that Kieu Oanh wrote when she was young. Playing soccer requires great determination and effort, as well as the support of our families ."

Kieu Oanh was born in 2003, she expressed her strong love for football. Her determination to become a professional football player was so great that Kieu Oanh mustered up the courage to write a commitment that she would "not neglect her studies" to convince her family to agree.

Kieu Oanh is a talented goalkeeper of the Vietnamese women's team.

The trust that her grandparents and parents had in Dao Thi Kieu Oanh was well rewarded. In just 8 years, from a shy schoolgirl in the countryside, Kieu Oanh became an important player for the Hanoi I Women's Club. At the youth level, she was continuously the best goalkeeper in the National U16 and U19 Women's Tournaments.

Kieu Oanh is only the third choice in goal for the Vietnamese women's team. But for the goalkeeper who has just turned 20, this is still a valuable experience that many previous generations of seniors cannot have. Kieu Oanh is expected to be a pillar of the Vietnamese women's team in the future and her family can be proud of the decision to let their little daughter practice football 8 years ago.
