Bringing an end to social marginalisation in Vietnam
Football for All in Vietnam (FFAV) is an initiative developed by the Football Association of Norway (NFF) and the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), operating in Hanoi since 2001.
In 2003, the project was officially moved to Thua Thien Hue province (TT Hue). FFAV works to develop children’s non-competitive grassroots football in primary and secondary schools, in social centres and resettlement areas with a special focus on marginalised groups such as people with a disability, people with an ethnic minority background, and people infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS.
FFAV uses football activities as a tool to integrate fundamental life skill activities which are refined based on the real situation and need of the club.
Ever since the first club started in 2004, FFAV has seen an incredible growth in the number of children and young people playing football, adults being trained, and an increased interest in the project activities in general.
