Vietnam Friendly Football Tournaments


Note that it is not clear whether all tournaments below are directly related.

Certainly all tournaments from 1965 to 1967 belong together as the Vietnam National Day Soccer Tournament.

The tournaments listed from 1970 to 1972 are also reported to be part of the series, but also referred to as Vietnam Independence Cup, held annually since 1970. The Quoc Khanh Tournament 1974 is part of that series as well.

See also the file on the Ho Chi Minh City Cup for tournaments since 1995.
