​AWARD-WINNING VIETJET BECOMES OFFICIAL AIRLINE PARTNER OF ASEAN UNITED FC EVENTS

Vietjet, the award-winning carrier, has been named the Official Airline Partner of four premier ASEAN United FC events – the ASEAN Hyundai Cup™, ASEAN Club Championship Shopee Cup™, ASEAN Women's MSIG Cup™, and ASEAN U-23 Championship™. The agreement was facilitated by SPORTFIVE, a leading global sports marketing agency and the exclusive commercial partner of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF).

Established with a mission to make flying accessible to all, Vietjet is a modern airline that has rapidly expanded since its inaugural flight in 2011. Today, it operates over 135 routes across Vietnam and international destinations including Southeast Asia, Australia, Kazakhstan, India, China, Japan, and South Korea, with plans to soon enter the European market. Recognizable by its bold red-and-yellow aircraft livery, Vietjet has become a familiar sight for global travellers, serving as a bridge for economic, cultural, and social exchange between countries and communities.

In its role as Official Airline Partner, Vietjet will connect fans and destinations throughout Southeast Asia via the region's top-tier football competitions, beginning with the ASEAN Hyundai Cup™ 2026 – the crown jewel of ASEAN football and the region’s largest sporting event.

This partnership highlights Vietjet’s brand strength and its commitment to delivering a more seamless customer experience, combining air travel with exclusive access to the ASEAN United FC events across one of the world’s fastest-growing travel markets. The airline’s modern, convenient, and customer-focused services will be at the heart of this engagement.

To Viet Thang, Standing Vice President of Vietjet, commented: “Vietjet has always been dedicated to supporting meaningful sporting events globally, aiming to connect people and create positive community value. Our partnership with ASEAN United FC competitions reinforces our commitment to connecting not only destinations but also people, cultures, and shared values. Through aviation and sports, Vietjet strives to enhance regional connectivity, showcase Southeast Asia to the world, and unlock greater opportunities for sustainable development.”
