Mission Statement
“FOOTBALL FOR ALL IN VIETNAM”. This simply means that all who want to play football should be able to do so. Participation should be based on interest rather than skills and/or parents and teachers ambitions. The project aim to make FFAVs experiences and competence available for all provinces in Vietnam, using Thua Thien Hue as a model for children and youth grassroots football in South East Asia, serving as a best practice in this respect. Girls participation is secured through the 50 – 50 % boys and girls quotation rule. Disabled and disadvantaged children and youth are included.
History of operations in Vietnam
The Football for All in Vietnam project (FFAV) was initiated by the Football Association of Norway (NFF) in cooperation with the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) in 2000. A Norwegian instructor was based in Hanoi from April 2001, to train coaches and leaders for grassroots clubs for children and youth, both boys and girls. In March 2003 the project was moved to Hue in central Vietnam, aiming to build a model for good practice.
