The
pictures are part of a photo book entitled "2018 – Historical hallmark of
Vietnam’s football” of photographer Nguyen A.
The book
contains nearly 500 photos capturing Vietnamese players in their matches and
joyous fans celebrating victory.
The year
2018 began with a historic achievement, with the U23 national men’s football
team finishing second at the 2018 Asian Football Confederation Championship
in China in January. This was Vietnam’s highest ever finish at a
continental-level football tournament.
Next, the
Olympic team qualified for the semi-finals of the 2018 Asian Games, losing
out to eventual winners the Republic of Korea.
The
crowning achievement came in December, as Vietnam won the ASEAN Football
Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup for the first time in 10 years.
The men’s
football teams won praise from around the world, largely thanks to the grit
they showed against heavyweights like Australia, Qatar and Japan.
