The programme has collected 700,000 signatures of football fans in Long Xuyen, Gia Lai, Danang, Bien Hoa, Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi city, who signed the ball or via the website www.traitimbongda.com.

Haiphong city is the seventh leg of the programme’s trans-Vietnam journey aimed at collecting one million signatures in support of the U23 national squad.

The Football rock gala in Haiphong provided a chance for fans to meet with some U23 members such as Long Giang, Cao Cuong and Tan Truong.
