On the morning of April 5, 2025, under the vibrant green field adorned with colorful flags, the opening ceremony of the C.I.A Championship 2025 officially took place, marking the start of a dynamic, exciting, and deeply meaningful season for businesses in the Architecture – Construction – Interior Design industry.
The event welcomed the presence of sponsors, media and organizational supporters, press agencies, television stations, businesses across Hanoi, and participating football teams. More than just a sports tournament, the C.I.A Championship is a journey of connection—bringing hearts together and spreading a spirit of sharing to underprivileged regions.

With its well-organized structure, strong sportsmanship, and above all, a profound humanitarian message, the tournament has made a lasting impression within the business community. Now in its fourth season, the C.I.A Championship has steadily built its reputation, becoming a much-anticipated annual event for prestigious enterprises in the industry and for philanthropists who are deeply committed to charitable causes.
This year, the tournament is held with the purpose of raising funds to build a school site in Háng Lìa, as part of the program “A Dream to Go to School.” Háng Lìa is one of the most remote and rugged areas in the mountainous Northwest region of Vietnam, where children’s dreams of attending school remain fragile amid hardship and treacherous footpaths.
An Enthusiastic and Thrilling Match Between Two Enterprises
That’s why every kick and every sprint in this year’s tournament goes beyond a simple contest of win or lose—it becomes an act of heartfelt giving, a message that says: You are not alone on the journey to knowledge. Sometimes, to turn a dream of going to school into reality, all it takes is the first whistle to give it wings.
Right after the opening ceremony, a friendly match between two passionate teams took place. S-GROUP FC faced off against MODERO FC in a thrilling showdown. Spectators erupted in cheers as the game delivered impressive plays and relentless attacks. In the end, MODERO FC narrowly secured victory with a score of 2-1. But on this field, there were no real losers—for every drop of sweat shed today helps build the Háng Lìa school of tomorrow.
S-GROUP Chairman Mr. Hán Minh Cường Came to Support the Team
For S-GROUP, each season is an opportunity to share and fully embrace its core values. With a spirit of compassion for education in remote areas, S-GROUP proudly joins the tournament as a Bronze Sponsor, directly contributing to the journey of building the Háng Lìa school.
The presence of S-GROUP FC in the opening friendly match against MODERO FC was not just about competing in sports—it was a heartfelt commitment from the entire S-GROUP team: a pledge to deliver not only business value, but also lasting human values. S-GROUP believes that sports can reach the deepest corners of the heart, and that a single goal can open up a whole new world of knowledge.
The C.I.A Championship 2025 will continue to roll on in the days to come. But right now, the hearts of hundreds of children in the highlands are already beating with excitement—because there are grown-ups playing football not just with their feet, but with love and hope.
