Concordia International School Hanoi proudly hosted this year's annual ASAC (Asean Sports and Activities Conference) tournament. Both our girls' and boys' teams secured 5th place in this competition, which featured ten teams from Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Thailand. Additionally, two of our Concordia students, Kiet (G12) and Ye Eun (G9), were recognized as the MVPs for their respective teams. This event brought together gifted young athletes from across the region, who competed passionately through sportsmanship and collaboration.

The opportunity to meet, compete, and bond with a special group of athletes has granted me memories I will cherish forever. ASAC was an amazing experience, and I love how our community came together as we hosted this year’s event.” - Kiet (G12)
