The players not only gave their all on the pitch but also shared their passion for rugby, creating a friendly and spirited atmosphere throughout the programme.

With the FV medical team always on-site, the rugby players can confidently compete at their best
Throughout the tournament, FV Hospital’s medical team was stationed on-site to provide timely assistance for any incidents. “Having medical staff on-site helped players stay focused on the game, knowing they were safe throughout the tournament,” noted a representative from the Saigon Rugby Club.
More than just a sporting event, this year’s tournament aimed to foster solidarity, connect the community, and raise health awareness among players. The Saigon Rugby Club hopes the tournament will continue to grow, always prioritising sportsmanship and player safety.
Over the years, FV Hospital has provided medical support for various tournaments, ranging from community and children’s charity events to international competitions such as Ironman 70.3 Da Nang 2026, the Asia Pacific Rugby Cup, and the Indochine Cup. This is part of FV’s commitment to building a safe sporting environment and taking care of athletes’ health.
