ACECOOK VIETNAM ELEVATES SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE FOR VIETNAM NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAMS TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL (PERIOD 2024 – 2027)

On March 14, 2024, Acecook Vietnam, in collaboration with the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), solemnly organized a signing ceremony to officially continue as the Main Sponsor of the Vietnam National Football Teams. This includes the Vietnam Men’s National Team, the Vietnam Women’s National Team, and the Vietnam U22/U23/Olympic National Teams for the period of 2024-2027.

For six consecutive years, starting from 2018, Acecook Vietnam has stood by the teams’ side, through both triumphs and challenges, witnessing the remarkable developments of Vietnamese football. In this new phase, Acecook Vietnam has upgraded its sponsorship package to the highest level — the Top Star Partner package (Main Partner status – with the Acecook logo positioned on the front of the training jerseys of the national teams), gradually realizing the goal of elevating Vietnamese football’s stature and conquering new heights.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Kaneda Hiroki – General Director of Acecook Vietnam Joint Stock Company, shared:

“Since starting business operations in Vietnam in 1993, Acecook has grown alongside the country’s economic development and has become a leading food manufacturer in Vietnam. This success is largely thanks to the trust and support of Vietnamese consumers. We are committed to continuing to provide safe, reliable, high-quality products to consumers.

Our company’s core value is centered on three ‘Happys’ (Happy Customers, Happy Employees, Happy Society). The third ‘Happy’ (Happy Society) reflects our aspiration to bring good things to Vietnamese society and people, contributing to happiness nationwide. We are very honored to accompany Vietnamese football, uplifting the national game — a dream shared by all Vietnamese people and also the dream of Acecook Vietnam.”

VFF representative Mr. Duong Nghiep Khoi – General Secretary of the Vietnam Football Federation, also stated:

“Acecook Vietnam’s decision to upgrade the sponsorship package for the national football teams to the highest level, the Top Star Partner, is a profoundly meaningful message for the development of Vietnam Football. This not only affirms Acecook Vietnam’s commitment to accompanying the national football movement since 2018, but also strongly spreads the value of trust and community responsibility for the goal of elevating Vietnamese football. It gives our national teams greater motivation to continue striving for achievements that meet the expectations of millions of home fans.”

After the signing ceremony, the VFF representative presented Acecook with a jersey autographed by all players of the men’s national team, the U23 team, the women’s national team, and the coaching staff, symbolizing the strong partnership between VFF and Acecook Vietnam for the coming years.

In return, Acecook Vietnam also presented a meaningful gift, wishing the national teams steady progress and much future success as they venture onto the world stage.

Reflecting on the journey so far, Acecook Vietnam has made continuous efforts to support the development of Vietnamese football. Beyond being the main sponsor of the national teams, Acecook Vietnam has shown a sustained interest in and commitment to nurturing youth football by sponsoring tournaments such as the U13 Vietnam–Japan International Youth Football Tournament, the 2023 National U15 Football Championship Acecook Cup, and the Vietnam Student & Youth Football Championship (2023, 2024). In 2023, Acecook Vietnam also took pride in co-organizing, together with the VFF, an emotional send-off ceremony and supporting campaign called “Proud Warriors Carry On,” as the women’s national team made its historic first appearance on the world stage.

On the same day and within the event framework, Acecook Vietnam, together with the Vietnam Football Federation and national team players (Duy Manh, Dinh Trieu, Dinh Bac, Hoang Thi Loan, Thai Thi Thao), organized a Football Exchange & Training Session for over 100 children from four SOS villages (Hanoi, Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Viet Tri). Through this workshop, Acecook Vietnam hopes to promote and strengthen the sporting spirit in the community, towards a healthy and happy Vietnam.

At the event, more than 100 children were coached by trainers in match warm-ups and basic techniques. The workshop not only provided valuable knowledge to the children, but also created many wonderful memories as they played together with their football idols.

Mr. Shimamura Masafumi, Marketing Division Director of Acecook Vietnam Joint Stock Company, shared at the event:

“I hope that, with every drop of sweat they shed on the field, the children will have a wonderful time with friends and coaches, and that they will be inspired with motivation and passion from the national players to pursue their own dreams.”

VFF representative Mr. Duong Nghiep Khoi – General Secretary of the Vietnam Football Federation, also said:

“The Vietnam Football Federation is always striving to nurture and foster the love of football among children, especially encouraging and creating conditions for them to develop their talents. We hope that through today’s exchange with the national team players, these children will gain more love and aspiration for football, sowing the ‘seeds’ of ambition to one day become national team players themselves.”

The football training and exchange session became even more meaningful when Mr. Kaneda Hiroki – General Director of Acecook Vietnam – presented 400 boxes of products to representatives of the four SOS villages (which care for the 100 children attending the workshop) and 100 boxes directly to the children participating in the event. Finally, the workshop concluded with a touching gift: a hand-drawn painting by the 100 children dedicated to Acecook Vietnam.
