FOOTBALL EXCHANGE WITH INDUSTRY UNITS

As part of the series of activities celebrating its 12th anniversary, CNG Vietnam Joint Stock Company organized the 2019 CNG Vietnam Open Football Tournament with both Men’s and Women’s competitions. The Men’s tournament consisted of six teams divided into two groups: CNG Vietnam, Vung Tau Gas, PVCoating, Gas Services, Southern Gas, and PVGas D. The tournament took place from May 21–25, 2019 in Vung Tau City. Meanwhile, the Women’s tournament followed a knockout format with four teams: CNG Vietnam – Office Division, CNG Vietnam – Plant Division, PetroSetco, and Southern Gas.

The Southern Gas Men’s team entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed, having won the 2019 PVGas D Open Tournament just one week earlier. Living up to expectations, the Men’s team achieved convincing victories and advanced to the final against Vung Tau Gas, considered the strongest team in Vung Tau. In the final match, both teams delivered an exciting and skillful performance with beautiful goals. However, due to injuries among key players, the Southern Gas Men’s team lost in the final and finished as the tournament’s Runner-Up.

Similarly, the Southern Gas Women’s team entered the tournament with high determination, following in the footsteps of the Men’s team. In their opening match, they faced CNG Vietnam – Office Division in a knockout game. The Southern Gas players played with great discipline under the coach’s guidance, showing solid movement and aggressive challenges that intimidated their opponents. On an outstanding day, player Trần Thị Nhiên scored a hat-trick, securing a 3–1 victory and a place in the final against the strong CNG Vietnam – Plant Division team. In the final, the Southern Gas Women’s team fought with determination but could not overcome the strength of their opponents, finishing as Runner-Up like the Men’s team. Player Trần Thị Nhiên was awarded the Top Scorer title.

The 2019 CNG Vietnam Open Football Tournament for both Men’s and Women’s teams concluded successfully. Congratulations to the Southern Gas Men’s and Women’s teams for exceeding expectations and achieving impressive results.
