HCM CITY — Bùi Tién Dũng, Doàn Van Hạu, Hà Dúc Chinh and Nguyẽn Quang Hải won the 2018 Fair Play Award on Monday night.
They were honoured at a gala held by HCM City Law newspaper in HCM City.
The award was based on votes from sports reporters, editors, supervisors, referees and football experts nationwide.
These four players took part in VTV’s Dièu uóc thú 7 (Seventh Wish) to help a little boy fulfill his dream after he was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 33 months.
Second place went to Viet Nam’s national U23 team for raking snow to help midfielder Hai score a great free kick against Uzbekistan in the final of the AFC U23 Championship.
Third place went to defender Do Duy Manh who pitched the Vietnamese flag in the snow in Changzhou, China in the AFC U23 Championship final last year.
Striker Nguyen Anh Duc claimed fourth place. Duc stepped in to stop fans throwing bottles onto the pitch in the qualifying match between Viet Nam and Malaysia in the AFF Suzuki Cup 2018 after the referee had missed a foul on striker Nguyen Cong Phuong.
Fifth place went to the Viet Nam team who celebrated scoring against Cambodia at the AFF Suzuki Cup 2018 with the No 9 jersey of striker Nguyẽn Van Toàn who couldn’t play because of injury. The organising board also gave the Fair Play Glory award to Viet Nam’s head coach Park Hang-seo for his contributions to football in the country.
“This is a great honour for me to receive this noble title. I am very happy,” said South Korean coach Park. — VNS
