ASEAN Cup 2026 Victory: Bia Saigon Solidifies Long-term Commitment to Vietnamese Football

The ASEAN Cup 2026 title victory for Vietnam national team was sealed with a 2-0 away win in Bangkok against Thailand. This successful defense of the championship marked a historic moment and coincided with the 81st anniversary of Vietnam's National Day. The journey spanned over a month, filled with emotional ups and downs and tense moments in the second leg. When the dressing room fell silent, I heard the chessboard turning. The players demonstrated disciplined defense, efficient counterattacks, and kept a clean sheet in the crucial final. After the final whistle, fans erupted, creating a record TIFO. This was the first banner created from over 10,000 cheers, certified by Vietkings. The championship timing with National Day amplified the national pride. Bia Saigon organized extensive fan engagement, including live screenings on Nguyen Hue walking street in Saigon, drawing thousands of spectators. Belief in the team surged after the away victory in Bangkok. Bia Saigon officially renewed its exclusive sponsorship with Vietnam's national teams from 2026 to 2029, covering Men's, Women's, and U23 teams. The signing ceremony took place in late July 2026. Lester Tan, General Director of Bia Saigon, stated that the brand has long associated with generations of Vietnamese people and will continue supporting domestic football. The deal provides stable funding for the entire federation portfolio, boosting development across youth and senior levels.
