Binh Lieu High School team won Ha Lan Cup

The female football team of Binh Lieu high school become the winner of the 2024 Quang Ninh province Ethnic Minority Women's Football Tournament - the first Ha Lan Cup taken in Binh Lieu from October 26 to October 31.

The first-ever tournament attracted the participation of 12 teams from two mountainous districts of Binh Lieu and Tien Yen.

San Chi ethnic minority women playing football in their traditional outfits is certainly unique. These girls and women are very enthusiastic in playing football. Especially on holidays, the women's soccer clubs in Huc Dong commune in particular and Binh Lieu district in general, eagerly partake in friendly tournaments, attracting a large number of people and tourists.

In a football match, each team of seven players played in a round-robin format with the top two qualifying for the finals. Instead of shorts and jerseys, the San Chi play in their traditional costumes, with the rival teams distinguished by the shades of their blue shirts.

The traditional costumes are made by hand by San Chi women. They are simple and admittedly not as colorful as those worn by the Hmong and Yao.
