The event, which attracted over 1,000 officials, spectators and cheerers, also featured a wide array of music performances, a beauty contest, and Vietnamese souvenirs displayed for sale.

The activities were meant to highlight the rich Vietnamese culture and the diligence and sense of discipline practiced by Vietnamese expats living and working in Korea.

“The much-awaited football tourney and accompanying art and cultural activities aim to bolster Vietnamese Koreans’ solidarity, and promote them as law-abiding, physically robust citizens to native businesses,” Nguyen Dinh Dung, First Secretary of the Vietnam Embassy in South Korea, said at the opening ceremony.

The event organizers, in coordination with the Association of Vietnamese people in South Korea, also raised funds for the safeguarding quest of Vietnam’s seas and islands.

Gifts were also given away to children of expat Vietnamese and Vietnamese-Korean families./.
