Mango Bay Phu Quoc Resort invites registrations for its fourth football tournament for expats in May

The Mango Bay Vietnam’s ‘Champions League’ is an annual tournament taking place at Cua Can Stadium on beautiful Phu Quoc Island. This year, eight expat teams will compete for the title on a brand new pitch for a bigger cup.

The registration fee is USD150 per team of 10, including a goal keeper, six starting players and three substitutes. Complimentary water will be provided, and each player can enjoy a reduced rate of USD12 per person for a special BBQ night. The cost is USD15 for nonplayers.

“We expect this year’s football tournament to attract ‘the usual suspects’ from previous years and some newcomers from the expat community in Vietnam. It’s one of the best ways to socialize and get to know each other better,” said Ronan Le Bihan, Mango Bay’s general manager, in a statement.

The tournament runs all day, with group matches in the morning and finals in the afternoon.

Mango Bay has special promotion during the event of three nights for the price of two, with rooms and bungalows starting from USD40 to USD75.

For information, email Ronan at gm@mangobayphuquoc.com. Player names must be sent by April 20.
