In a statement released on November 13th, Vingroup confirmed "the fact that Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes joined PVF is a part of the strategy towards the international standards of professional football."

On November 20th, Vingroup will inaugurate the 22-hectare PVF football training centre in Hung Yen with the most modern facilities in the country such as Asia's first 360S simulator room and PlayerTek, Europe's premier tool to track and analyse the performance of the team and individual players.

Also on this day, there will be friendly matches between U15 international football team such as Stoke City (England), Central Coast Mariners (Australia), Busan I'park (Korea) and U15 PVF.

Apart from football, Vingroup - a multidisciplinary group with such brands as Vinhomes, Vinpearl, Vinmec, Vinschool, Vincom Center, VinEco, etc. - has also entered the animation production field. Late last month, Vingroup officially introduced VinTaTa with two modern studios in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
