The Vietnam Football Federation takes practical actions for young players

The VFF continues to hold the second session of sports nutrition training for young female players

On the morning of December 20th, as part of the JENS project – Japanese standard sports nutrition organized by Shidax Group in collaboration with the VFF, young female players participated in the second exchange session on sports nutrition knowledge.

The session was led by Japanese sports nutrition expert Tsuyuzaki Noriko and Master of Sports Nutrition Trâm Anh. The training content was developed by Shidax, closely tailored to the living environment, dietary conditions, and actual physical needs of Vietnamese players.

In this exchange session, the organization method was further adjusted to expand interaction. Players actively asked questions through surveys and direct communication with instructors. This demonstrates the growing interest in nutrition among players and lays a foundation for each individual to proactively build a suitable diet in the future.

Understanding sports nutrition requires a long-term approach to deeply grasp and apply it practically. The JENS project will continue to accompany upcoming training sessions aiming to improve the physical foundation, competitive performance, and scientifically-based nutritional mindset of Vietnamese players.

As part of the 2025 plan of the VFF Sports Medicine Department to organize monthly nutrition training sessions for athletes, coaching staff, and medical teams of the U14-U16 women’s teams, the first nutrition exchange session took place on November 1st at the VFF headquarters. This is the first of five sessions scheduled from November 2025 to March 2026, averaging one session per month.

Nutritional support activities for players at the Youth Football Training Center are carried out through regular specialized seminars conducted by Japanese and Vietnamese nutrition experts, starting from early November. Training effectiveness will be assessed by pre- and post-tests. For coaches, besides attending seminars, experts will provide company E-learning programs to enhance their understanding of sports and nutrition, which can be applied in future coaching work.
