What is “Foot for Hope”?

Foot for Hope is an annual CSR football tournament that unites the French and Vietnamese communities in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in a friendly, dynamic atmosphere – not just to play, but to contribute to a humanitarian cause.

The event is organized by the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam (CCIFV), which represents over 280 members and is part of a global network of 120 French chambers in 95 countries.

Beyond networking and team building, part of the funds raised will go to Coup de Pouce Vietnam – a 100% volunteer-run humanitarian association supporting families with monthly food packages, scholarships for outstanding students and housing improvement.

In the 2024 edition, Foot for Hope gathered 20 teams, over 250 participants and raised funds for Coup de Pouce – showing that a simple football tournament can generate real social impact.
