Before the issue of electing Duc as VFF Vice President, HAGL is a member of VPF, had approved the “exclusive sponsor” charter before but now countered, the head of HAGL said: “If I’m wrong, I also have to correct it, not sign it, but I don’t correct it. While the VFF allows the club to find sponsors and legally, there is no monopoly, the VPF’s charter does the opposite.”
Regarding the possibility of quitting football due to lack of funds, Mr. Duc shared: “I also think a lot, without a sponsor, HAGL Club is also miserable. I have been playing football for more than 20 years, can’t say quit is quit, mostly Gia Lai people don’t have anything to watch on Saturdays and Sundays. Football has changed Gia Lai a lot. Fortunately, the sponsors are good-natured, so we continue to fight.”
On the morning of February 2, elect Duc worked with donors and got them to agree with the requirements of VPF. However, this unit believes that HAGL will reclaim their flagship product in the legal battle with VPF. HAGL will bring the case to court so that the court can determine who is right and who is wrong in this matter.
In the immediate future, HAGL players still practice normally to prepare for the match once morest Ha Tinh on the followingnoon of February 4 at Pleiku Stadium. The team also changed and edited many items related to the sponsor’s image according to Official Letter 31.
HAGL’s conflict with VPF stems from the fact that the mountain town team has a new sponsor in the 2023 season. This unit trades in the same category as the exclusive category that sponsors V.League 2023 – energy drinks. Therefore, VPF banned HAGL from promoting energy drinks of team sponsors.
