With the ambition to expand beyond the regional scope, in addition to organizing exchanges and cooperation with professional and historically rich football clubs around the world, the PVF Youth Football Training Center, part of Vingroup, has also invested heavily in facilities and human resources.

Specifically, on the inauguration and opening day of the new center in Hung Yen (November 20th), PVF will officially appoint football legend Ryan Giggs, the former legendary captain of Manchester United, as the center's Director of Football. Ryan Giggs will be responsible for training players and coaches, and will also participate in building and developing PVF into the number one football training center in Vietnam and, in the future, potentially a world-renowned football center.

Former brilliant midfielder Paul Scholes, one of the pillars of Manchester United during the club's golden era, will support Ryan Giggs in the early stages. For young players, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes will always be symbols of passion, talent, and the pursuit of technical perfection, of enduring peak performance, and of unwavering dedication to the club.

The addition of legendary players Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes to the PVF staff is part of an operational strategy aimed at achieving world-class professional football standards. Besides these two names, PVF is also building a team of reputable and experienced foreign experts. Currently, PVF has one technical director, two coaches, one goalkeeping coach, two sports science experts, and one physiotherapist from English Premier League clubs.

Also on the day of the center's inauguration, PVF organized an international U.15 four-team tournament with four top teams from across the continents participating: Stoke City (England), Central Coast Mariners (Australia), Busan I'park (South Korea), and PVF - the reigning national U.15 champion, with 6 players in the Vietnam U.15 team that won the 2017 Southeast Asian U.15 Championship and 6 players in the Vietnam U.16 team that qualified for the 2018 Asian U.16 Championship. The tournament will be played at the PVF center's stadium under the watchful eyes of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.
