National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue present gifts and flowers to female football players.

According to the parliamentary leader, women’s football in Vietnam has not received adequate investment in proportion to its potential and contribution to the nation’s sports sector.

In order to achieve this glorious victory, the women players had to make great efforts to overcome social prejudices, including difficult livelihoods with low wages and uncertain futures, after retiring from football, said Chairman Hue.

He stated his enormous admiration of Vietnam’s golden girls, and the story of how they weathered tough challenges to win their ticket to the World Cup, emphasising this prime example of breaking gender bias.
