Red Bull partnered with Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Club, kicking off the young talent recruitment tournament
For many, the passion for the “King
of sports” has been fueled by various achievements of the national football
team. Starting with the marvelous victory at U23 Asia, the team did not stop
but continued to amaze the public with successive accomplishments, from being
the champion of AFF Cup 2018 to winning the gold medal at SEA Games 30, and
many more victories at the continent-wide level. The class of football players,
namely Cong Phuong, Van Toan, and Xuan Truong, etc, with outstanding skills and
equivalent capability, has lightened up the spark for sports in many football
fans. The success of this generation is largely attributed to sports academies,
large-scale training initiatives, and professional recruitment programs. Among
which, HAGL stood out as one of the first professional football institutes in
Vietnam, contributing many “golden” names to the Vietnamese football
scene.
With the aim of making professional
coaching programs more accessible to young talents, Red Bull partnered with
HAGL Football Club to launch the football talent recruitment tournament helping
to evoke the inner power of these potential professional football players for
teenagers from 15 to 20.
Within the partnership, the
recruitment tournament shall reach out to 05 provinces and cities, including
Tien Giang, Can Tho, An Giang, Pleiku and Binh Thuan, kicking off from April
2021.
At the elimination round, candidates
will be divided into teams to compete 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 with each match lasting
3 minutes. After which, 4 best candidates per province will be shortlisted to
the final assessment round in Ho Chi Minh City in June 2021.
In this final round, 20 selected
candidates from 05 provinces will be grouped into teams of 5 members to play
offense. In the end, at least 1 and at most 4 candidates with the best
performances will be selected by HAGL Football Club. The winners have the
chance to participate in a 4-month training program compatible with their age
range, hosted by Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Club’s Youth Team in Gia Lai
province. All living and training expenses are covered by HAGL Football Club, in
alignment with the Club’s standard. During the 4-month training course, the young talents will
receive football scholarships valued at 20 million VND per individual from Red
Bull, and the chance to appear in the brand’s video along with the popular
football player Quang Nho. After the training period, these young talents are
presented with an opportunity to sign the official contract with HAGL Football
Club.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Huan, Country Director of TCPVN - the owner of Red Bull
brand, stated: “For young people, the
path to pursue their dreams will always be filled with obstacles. Red Bull
hopes to empower them with a source of positive energy in order to evoke the
inner strength within each young talent and cultivate their resilience, both
physically and mentally. We believe that the young talent recruitment
tournament, with the company of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Club, will bring
forth their confidence and courage to overcome any challenges they might
encounter along their path to pursue professional football.”
Mr. Nguyen Tan Anh, Managing Director of HAGL Football Club, stated: “The
potential, capability, and perseverance of young Vietnamese football players,
especially those within the age range of 15-20, are tremendous, and that
treasure has yet to be found. Many talented football players are waiting for a
chance to be nurtured and shine. Through this recruitment tournament, we hope
to discover the most potential faces and let them be a part of our club’s
talent pool.”
With this journey of evoking the
inner strength within Vietnamese future talents, once again, Red Bull reaffirms
its mission of spreading positive power, as part of TCPVN’s sustainable
development in Vietnam.
