This is a large team tournament in Vietnam, attracting 1,500 golfers from 80 clubs.

The qualifying round will start from 16 to 18 August to select 34 men’s and 16 women’s best clubs to compete in the final round, which will take place from 9 to 10 October at Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club.  

Started since 2017, the tournament has always been well received by many golf clubs, golf associations, large organizations, etc., to create new records and new imprints, which, in turn, affirm its reputation. The 6th season this year is considered the biggest and most important event organized by HNGA towards the 69th anniversary of the Capital Liberation Day (10 October 1954 - 10 October 2023).

Mr. Nguyen Viet Ha - Head of Branding and Communication, BIDV shared at the ceremony:

As the title sponsor for the prestigious tournament of HNGA, BIDV wishes to make contributions to encouraging sport activities, promoting the image of the thousand-year-old capital, and introducing modern banking products and services to entrepreneurs and businesses, especially BIDV Private Banking - a new service exclusively for premier customers. Private Banking is a premium banking service that provides personalized products and services to high-net-worth individuals (with over one million USD), including wealth management solutions and financial, non-financial services such as investment, inheritance planning, real estate, tax services, residency, healthcare, insurance, etc.

In addition, the Tournament Organizing Committee continues to call on the golf communities and clubs to participate in a social activity named: ‘Hanoi Golf for the Community’.

Mr. Nguyen To Ninh - Chairman of HNGA, Head of the Organizing Committee, emphasized:

HNGA Club Championship Open is not only a major golf event, but also an important occasion to convey the spirit of humanity. In addition to the noble sportsmanship, the tournament is also an opportunity for golfers to share positive values and demonstrate social responsibility through charitable activities. Each golfer is not only a competitor but also a sponsor, working together towards the goal of making a positive impact on society. Thanks to the humanitarian values and social responsibility spread from the tournament, we will together build a community of solidarity and sustainable development.

With the desire to join hands with HNGA and athletes to spread the humanitarian values of the tournament, BIDV promised to sponsor nearly VND200 million for VTV’s Heart Fund for Children to support 3 heart surgeries for disadvantaged children.

Since 2017, in addition to carrying out financial and monetary tasks to serve the country’s economic development, BIDV has always been an active and pioneering supporter for social security programs using its own funds or calling for contribution from its employees. Over the past 6 years, BIDV has donated more than VND1,500 billion for implementing social security programs, mainly covering areas like education, healthcare, building houses for the poor, disaster relief, etc.
