Bamboo Airways has become the official transporter for Viet Nam’s national football and futsal teams.

The airline signed a deal with the Viet Nam Football Federation in Ha Noi on Monday.

The men’s and women’s national teams, futsal squads as well as national youth teams will be taken to all games, competitions and training camps onboard Bamboo flights.

Players and team staff will be given priority check-ins and oversized luggage will be allowed to transport training equipment.

The first flight under the new deal will take the men’s national team to the UAE in June for the 2022 World Cup qualifier.

Other tournaments this year are the AFF Cup, the Asian U23 qualifier and the 31st SEA Games.

“The support of sponsors including Bamboo Airways plays a key role in improving the quality of teams’ training and competitions,” said VFF Vice President Tran Quoc Tuan.

Bamboo Airways General Director Dang Tat Thang said the company was proud to be the special partner that serves teams who are national representatives in tournaments.

Apart from national squads, Bamboo Airways also transport other football clubs such as Ha Noi FC, HCM City FC and Thanh Hoa FC. It is also the main sponsorship of the National Cup. VNS
