The 10 participating teams competed with a spirit of unity, honesty, and sportsmanship, delivering lively and interactive matches. Organizing the tournament around the time when the overseas Vietnamese community commemorates National Day on September 2 further enhanced the significance of the event.
The event also served as an opportunity for Vietnamese individuals studying, working, doing business, and living in the Republic of Korea to meet, share national pride, and promote the spirit of mutual support.
As the Vietnamese community in the Republic of Korea continues to grow, sports, cultural exchanges, and business networking activities contribute to creating more spaces for entrepreneurs to meet, exchange experiences, and support each other in work and life.
Mr. Tran Phuong Bon, Chairman of the VKBIA Busan - Gyeongnam Chapter, believes that the value of the tournament lies not only in the matches but also in the opportunity to connect the business community. According to him, from meetings on the football field, businesses can better understand each other, share opportunities, and form sustainable links.

At the end of the tournament, the Alo Quan team won the championship. The runner-up was Busan Tao, while Tu-Hen Billiards secured third place.
Connecting Businesses, Looking Towards the Homeland
According to Dr. Tran Hai Linh, Member of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Chairman of VKBIA, for the Vietnamese business community in the Republic of Korea to develop sustainably, it is essential to build a spirit of “unity, responsibility, credibility, and companionship”.
Each business should not only aim for its own development but also contribute to building the image of dynamic, professional Vietnamese entrepreneurs who comply with the law and are responsible to the local community and society.
With the role of sponsorship and co-sponsorship, VKBIA and the Busan - Gyeongnam Chapter continue to promote community connection activities through trade promotion, investment, cultural exchanges, sports, and programs oriented towards the community.

The goal is to build a network linking Vietnamese businesses in the Republic of Korea with domestic businesses and Korean partners, thereby expanding cooperation opportunities in business, investment, trade, technology transfer, and human resource development.
Through this, each community activity, each meeting, and each connection will continue to add a bridge of friendship and people-to-people exchange, deepening the relationship between the business communities of the two countries, making a practical contribution to the Vietnam – Republic of Korea Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
