Viet Celts
The Viet Celts made history last year without even kicking a ball. Simply gathering in a field and posing for a photograph with an iconic O'Neill's Gaelic football was proof enough that the first ever Vietnam-based Gaelic Football club had been born.
With players from Australia, England, the US, Vietnam, France, as well as Ireland, the Viet Celts diligently began training, under the patient guidance of the head coach Colm Ross, in preparation for the Asian Gaelic Games, a seven-a-side tournament held in Singapore in June 2007.
Vietnam's first ever Gaelic football tournament was held at UNIS in Ciputra International City, Hanoi on June 28 2008 with teams from Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam competing.
Singapore won both the men's and ladies events with Malaysia and Vietnam coming second in the respective competitions.
Thanks to the kind sponsorship of ESBI, Jaspas, Finnegan's of Hanoi, Terotech, Tiger Beer, Tiger Airlines, Orient Tours, Sheridan's of Ho Chi Minh City, Coca Cola, Midas and MAG.
The Viet Celts will travel to Penang, Malaysia with the kind sponsorship of Tiger Air.
