Forty young people in Hanoi have benefited from the expertise of City in the Community (CITC) coaches at a young leader training programme in the Vietnamese capital.

As part of our ongoing commitment to global community football projects, Manchester City will use the power of football to develop the leadership and coaching skills of young people in the country over the next two years.

In partnership with SHB and using the know-how of CITC coaches, this Cityzens Giving training programme welcomed local youngsters from charity partner, SOS Children’s Villages in Hanoi.

Using classroom and on-the-pitch workshops they developed their leadership and life building skills, practical planning and an understanding on how to use football as a tool to positively impact social issues.

The four-day training culminated in the leaders putting their newly developed skills into action by planning and delivering a football festival for 100 children from SOS Children’s Villages on the final day.
