Victory in National U11 Football Competition - Nestle MILO Cup 2025 goes to Hung Yen Team
Nestlé MILO continues to demonstrate its commitment to the development of Vietnam's youth by being the main sponsor of the National U11 Football Championship, also known as the Nestlé MILO Cup. This prestigious sports event promotes grassroots football development among under-11 players and encourages physical activity and teamwork from an early age.
This year's championship, held at the Quang Nam Arena in Da Nang, saw Hung Yen clinch their first victory, securing a 1-0 win over Bac Ninh on August 5, 2025. The tournament features competitive matches among regional teams across Vietnam and includes quarterfinals, semi-finals that receive live coverage, highlighting promising young football talent nationally.
The championship serves as a significant platform for nurturing young players at a formative age, providing them with a chance to showcase their skills, gain experience in competitive football, and foster sportsmanship and community spirit. Nestlé MILO's continued support for the event underscores the brand's role in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle among Vietnamese youth.
Over the past 28 years, Nestlé MILO has played a pivotal role in spreading the spirit of sportsmanship and nurturing a dynamic young generation. The event is organized annually by Youth Vanguard and Children Newspaper, Vietnam Football Federation, and the Ministry of Education and Training. After the final, prizes were awarded to outstanding teams and individuals.
Nestlé MILO believes that sports not only support children's physical development but also instil vital life qualities. The company has implemented activities as part of NESTGEN 2025 to empower the youth. Meanwhile, Nestlé Vietnam has committed to investing an additional $75 million in its Nestlé Tri An factory in the southern province of Dong Nai.
The final match was a tense one, with both teams having good chances. The turning point occurred with seven minutes left, when Quoc Viet scored the decisive goal for Hung Yen. In the closing minutes, Bac Ninh pushed forwards in search of an equaliser, but it was not to be. Lang Son and Viet Hung (Thanh Hoa) shared third place.
The National U11 Football Championship has, over the years, provided meaningful opportunities for children in Vietnam. It is more than just a sports tournament; it is a prestigious playground for children, a collaborative effort between businesses and state agencies, offering meaningful opportunities for the youth of Vietnam.
The National U11 Football Championship, sponsored by Nestlé MILO, not only promotes grassroots football development but also offers a prestigious platform for under-11 players to showcase their skills and gain experience in competitive football. This year, Hung Yen clinched their first victory in football at the tournament by securing a 1-0 win over Bac Ninh.
