“We are happy to partner with such a prominent Vietnamese brand such as Saigon Beer,” said Le Hoai Anh, VFF General Secretary.

“This partnership will bring further support to and motivation for, our players, and help in the development of Vietnamese football as a whole.”

SABECO previously sponsored the Vietnamese delegation to the 30th Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) in 2019. It has also sponsored various local sporting events such as 2020 Tien Phong Newspaper Marathon National Championship as well as international events including the 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup.

Meanwhile Bui Huy Nam, General Director of VTVCab, shared: “VTVcab is proud to be the only cable TV that produces and broadcasts all worldwide and national most-watched sports leagues, as well as all matches involving Vietnamese national teams.

“Aside from content distribution across a multitude of platforms, VTVcab confirms its significant interest in football, paving the way for VFF to become a long-term strategic partner. It is an honour to walk with SABECO as a supporting partner in order to maximise the media’s effect in support of the Vietnamese national football team’s achievement.” — VNS

Given complicated developments of Covid-19, the company has disinfected its workplaces and asked all workers to wear facemasks, wash their hands and take personal temperature before entering their workplaces.

“Long-Legged Girls” is to be distributed internationally

Thien Ngan Film Company and Sony Pictures Entertainment have come to an agreement on the distribution of a Vietnamese movie, “Nhung Co Gai Chan Dai” (Long-Legged Girls), in other countries in Asia .

Thien Ngan is the first private Vietnamese film company to cooperate with a large foreign corporation to distribute a Vietnamese film in the world market.

A representative of the company said that in November, its partner, Sony Pictures Entertainment, would start distributing the film in most Asian nations.

DVD, VCD and broadcasts on different Asian television channels have also been incorporated into the distribution plan for the movie.

Though this is the first time a Vietnamese movie will receive international distribution, “Long-Legged Girls” has been called a commercial film with poor arty quality.

The movie, however, has become one of the most viewed films in Vietnam, with a number of viewers much higher than the Golden Kite award winner “Chuyen cua Pao” (Pao’s story).
