C.P. Vietnam Corporation (C.P. Vietnam) has successfully carried out a series of meaningful accompanying activities for the 2026 Dong Nai Newspaper, Radio, and Television Youth Football Cup, marking three consecutive years as the main sponsor. Through this event series, C.P. Vietnam not only reaffirms its long-term commitment to the local young generation but also demonstrates its corporate sustainability strategy anchored in Community Support—one of the group's three core ESG strategic pillars.

A Sustainable Grassroots Playground and Expanded Experiential Learning for Youth

The Dong Nai Newspaper, Radio, and Television Youth Football Cup is a traditional sports tournament maintained for over two decades in Dong Nai Province. The final round of the 21st tournament took place from August 6 to August 9, 2026, at the Dong Nai Sports Training and Competition Center Gymnasium, gathering 16 top youth football teams to compete.

Over three consecutive years as the primary partner, C.P. Vietnam has progressively evolved its sponsorship model: moving from pure financial sponsorship to proactively designing educational, high-engagement experiential activities for young athletes.

Throughout this year's tournament, C.P. Vietnam set up an "Energy Recharge Station" booth at the competition venue to provide nutritious food and safe drinking water, serving as a stamina recovery hub for young players. A new highlight of this season was a friendly match between the Dong Nai U11 Star Team and the C.P. Vietnam U11 Team (comprising children of company employees). Played in an open, vibrant atmosphere, the match drew enthusiastic cheering from parents and children, fostering friendship, learning, and connection among the young players.

Notably, on the afternoon of August 8, 2026, the Organizing Committee, coaching staff, parents, and players from the four semifinalist teams (U11 Phuoc Long, U11 Tan Trieu, U11 Long Thanh, U11 Phuoc Binh), together with the C.P. Vietnam U11 team, joined an experiential tour of C.P. Vietnam's headquarters. Here, the children learned about the company's history and development, participated in physical games to build football skills, and observed a professional working environment. For many children, this offered a special opportunity to witness their parents' workplace firsthand.

Integrating Social Welfare Goals into Key Operating Regions

Dong Nai city holds strategic significance for C.P. Vietnam as the birthplace of its headquarters and initial production facilities over 30 years ago. Sponsoring the youth football tournament forms an integral part of C.P. Vietnam's overarching commitment to supporting the comprehensive development of the local community.

Beyond physical development initiatives for youth, C.P. Vietnam continues to integrate core local social welfare programs: from regular humanitarian blood donation drives to livelihood assistance projects transferring biosecure farming techniques to underprivileged households, as well as environmental protection and community infrastructure improvements. This series of initiatives reflects the group's consistent direction: business growth must always align with social responsibility and local community sustainability.

Vietnam aspires to make tangible contributions toward creating a healthy environment for children to exercise, build confidence, and foster teamwork. Partnering with the tournament for three consecutive years demonstrates our consistent direction: blending financial resources with experiential activities, while closely linking corporate social responsibility to the communities where we operate long-term."
