Asian Student Football Tourney held in Belgium

Six student football teams from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Japan, Thailand and China took part in an Asian Student Football Championship in Belgium on May 22. The Thai team won the championship with a strong well prepared team. As expected, in such a group of strong teams, including Japan and China, the Vietnamese team did not get very far. Pham Huy Hoang, the Vietnamese team captain said that the event was helpful for strengthening solidarity amongst Asian students who are studying in Belgium and thanked the overseas Vietnamese businesses and students for their enthusiastic support and spirit during the event. The annual event has been held ever since 2005. In 2009, the Cambodian team won the championship.(VNA)
