Real Madrid Foundation and YKK clinics in Vietnam are a success
Over 260 vulnerable children took part in the sporting event in Ho Chi Minh City.
The Real Madrid Foundation has successfully held the 2024 YKK ASAO Kids Football Clinics in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) in collaboration with YKK. The event took place from 8 to 10 November and was attended by 263 children in vulnerable situations, who enjoyed three days of top-level sports training focused on the values of Real Madrid.
A football workshop for 32 local coaches and 12 YKK Vietnam employees was also part of the clinic, strengthening the Real Madrid Foundation's commitment to the training and development of local talent.
More than 7,500 children and 800 coaches benefited
This project is part of a long-standing partnership that began more than a decade ago, when the first joint clinic was held in Manila, Philippines, in April 2012. Since then, YKK ASAO Clinics has reached more than 7,500 children and 800 coaches in different countries across Asia, reinforcing the commitment of both organisations to inclusion, integral development and the power of sport as a transformative tool.
In spite of the adverse weather conditions, the participants' enthusiasm and smiles fueled the success of this initiative, which continues to make a significant difference to the lives of thousands of children in the region. The Real Madrid Foundation and YKK continues to work closely together to nurture talent and build a brighter future through football.
