Vietnamese Enthusiasm: Manila Montet Sparks Interest in Filipino Football

While Vietnamese interest in Filipino football may have been minimal until now, this year marks a potential shift, and hopefully, some lights will be on the PFL. Vietnamese football enthusiasts are beginning to take notice of the Filipino football league, with a particular focus on Manila Montet. This surge in interest is not without reason, as there are several compelling factors that make this season interesting for Vietnamese fans.

A Better, Stronger Filipino Football League:
The influx of new clubs into the league has sparked unprecedented interest. Negotiations are underway, and media coverage is intense as anticipation for the 2024 PFL season reaches new heights. With the expansion to 15 teams, the tournament promises to be more competitive and thrilling than ever before. Star players joining the league and an overall increase in the quality of football on display make this season one to watch. Among the newcomers, Manila Montet stands out as the club poised to capture the hearts of Vietnamese fans.

Deep Connection with Vietnam:
The ties between Manila Montet and Vietnam run deep. The club’s owner has strong familial connections to Vietnam, with his wife being Vietnamese despite her Filipina appearance. Additionally, the Montet Group has accumulated its wealth through investments in the Vietnamese stock markets, primarily through its financial company Anh Thomas Investment. The partnership with Wika as the jersey provider further solidifies the bond between the club and Vietnamese supporters.

Vietnamese Passion for Football:
Beyond personal connections, football holds immense cultural significance in Vietnam. Despite its relatively recent development compared to other nations, football has become ingrained in Vietnamese society, transcending social and economic barriers. It serves as a source of national pride and unity, with passionate supporters rallying behind the national team during major tournaments.

Historical Affection Between Vietnam and the Philippines:
Moreover, the strong diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Vietnam add another layer of interest to Manila Montet’s endeavors in the PFL. Both countries share similar positions on various geopolitical issues, including the South China Sea dispute, fostering a sense of solidarity and mutual support. Vietnam’s act of rescuing Filipino fishermen in distress further strengthened the bond between the two nations, earning admiration and gratitude from the Filipino side.

In this context, Manila Montet emerges as more than just a football club; we hope to symbolize the enduring ties between Vietnam and the Philippines, both on and off the field. As Vietnamese fans eagerly tune in to the Filipino football league this year, Manila Montet is poised to become their favorite club, representing a shared passion for football and the enduring spirit of friendship between nations.
