Herbalife Vietnam announced it is a sponsor of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022 from December 20, 2022, to January 16, 2023.

This is the second time that the company has become an official supporter of the football tournament.

The AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup is a biennial football competition organised by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), accredited by FIFA, and contested by the national ‘A’ teams of Southeast Asia.

Together with AFF and Herbalife Vietnam, we will deliver a unique ASEAN football experience to even more fans across the region and strengthen communities by advocating healthy living.”

"Our continued support of the AFF Cup is aligned with our long-term commitment to promoting healthy active lifestyles through sports sponsorship. Apart from providing financial support to ensure the best preparations for the tournament, we are delighted and proud that our science-based nutrition products can also help players improve their strength and stamina to optimise their performance on the field,” said Vũ Văn Thắng, general manager for Herbalife Vietnam and Cambodia.

Herbalife Vietnam started its long-term partnership with Vietnam Olympic Committee (VOC) and Vietnam Paralympic Association (VPA) in 2012. Herbalife Nutrition aims to support the aspirations of Vietnamese athletes to outperform and achieve better results in regional and international sporting events. Through this partnership, Herbalife Vietnam provides its wide range of nutrition products, sports nutrition consulting and training to the athletes and coaches of VOC and VPA.

In 2021, Herbalife Vietnam became an official sponsor of the Men’s National Football Team, the Women’s National Football Team, and the U22/U23/Olympic National Football Teams. The sponsorships will run from 2021 to 2024. — VNS
