For many years, the Nestlé MILO brand has not only accompanied sports activities, particularly in schools, but has also supported generations of athletes from grassroots movements to international tournaments like the SEA Games, ASIAD, and Olympics.”
Lê Bùi Thị Mai Uyên, MILO and dairy products business unit manager at Nestlé Vietnam said: “We remain committed to fostering an active lifestyle, encouraging children to cultivate their passions and unlocking their sports potential through annual school tournaments under the dynamic Việt Nam programme. Together, we strive to shape the next generation of resilient Vietnamese children who will actively contribute to the development of sports in our country.”
