After their success in the Asian tournament last month, the U23 team were invited to the Prime Minister’s office, where they presented PM Phuc with a ball and a jersey carrying the signatures of all the members of the squad.

These gifts have been given to Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc Dung and Minister of Information and Communication Truong Minh Tuan, who were asked to organise an auction to sell these items. The cash collected from this auction will be presented to the poor people, war invalids, fallen soldiers and other revolutionary contributors.

The PM will mark his notes on these gifts

It is expected that the auction will be held before Tet (Lunar New Year). — VNS
