The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) is the national governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal tournaments in Vietnam, and national teams of Vietnam.[7][8] It is a member of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA),[9][10] the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF).[11][12][13]

Predecessor of the VFF was originally established in 1960 in North Vietnam as the Vietnam Football Association (VFA). Its first president was Hà Đăng Ấn, who was head of the Railway Department and had been a former football star. At that time, there was a separate football association in South Vietnam (under the Republic of Vietnam) handling association football in that region. Because of the division of Vietnam in 1954, association football developed separately in the two halves. Following the country’s reunification in 1975 (officially in 1976), Vietnam inherited South Vietnam’s memberships in FIFA (which South Vietnam had joined in 1952) and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) (which South Vietnam had joined in 1954). In 1989, after the Đổi Mới reforms, Vietnamese sports, including association football, began re-integrating into more international activities. In August 1989, the first Congress of the later version of the federation was held in Hanoi. At that Congress, the organization was formally declared the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF).[14][15]

In 1994, the VFF of the second term held a competition to design a new logo.[32][33] The winning design was created by artist Nguyen Ngoc Than.[34][35] The logo features a yellow background, a red triangle, and a stylized football. The red triangle represents the national flag, and the stylized football represents the passion for association football in Vietnam. The three letters VFF stand for Vietnam Football Federation.[36]

The later logo of the VFF features a stylized football with the three letters "VFF" inside it. The football is surrounded by the Vietnamese flag, which is red with a yellow star in the center. The logo was designed to honor the history and development of association football in Vietnam, and to show the Federation's commitment to meeting the needs of fans, friends, and international association football organizations. It was designed by Nguyen Cong Quang and has been in use since 2008.[37]

On April 28, 2008, the VFF Executive Committee officially announced the use of the new VFF logo in all related transactions from May 1, 2008. The use of the old logo ended on December 31, 2008.

Rumor

In 2023, rumors circulated on social media that the VFF was about to receive up to $120 million to build two stadiums with a capacity of up to 50,000 and 100,000 seats.[38][39][40] According to the source, the two new stadiums could be started in March 2024.[41][42] On November 6, 2023, the VFF announced that the funding announcement for the new stadium was completely fabricated, and in fact, the VFF does not have authority to build or to oversee the construction of major facilities like stadiums.[43][44][45]
