Hi I have just arrived in HCMC and am staying for a few months. At the moment I'm in a hostel just off bui vien in district 1. What I really want to do is find somewhere where people play football regularly, maybe a local park that will have games happening or a regular game that welcomes new people. Any help would be appreciated.

Also if anyone could direct me to a good place to watch football on TV the would be great.

Thanks again.

Chris.

There are at least 2 bars on the street your staying that show football regularly and another 3 within 20 yards of the area depending on the time of day the game is on.

Spotted Cow 111 Bui Vien is my preferred spot, good screens and good staff who look after you. If the games not on just ask them and they will try and find it.

Rojamin, things have changed a lot since i last seen you, i started my team in the end of January. I started a 5 a side team, won a league. Then by the 2nd season, i expanded to two 5 a side teams. Now i have enough players to play 11 a side. Have won 3 trophies so far and played 2 friendlies in a 11 a side. In the 2nd game, we defeated the SIFL champions. I would love you to come and watch sometime ...
