That is Mr. Le Van Xuat (47 years old) - Director of Agribank Transaction Office Branch ( Hanoi ) - "spiritual leader" of Agribank football team.
Although his banking job requires him to work from 8am to late at night, sometimes until 9pm, he still maintains the habit of playing soccer twice a week.
"Bank staff need both mental and physical strength. Practicing sports , any sport, such as soccer, tennis, pickleball, badminton, all help me become stronger and have a clearer mind to handle work," he laughed, wiping sweat after the match.
In the team, there is a 21-year-old player, Mr. Xuat is considered the "big brother" - always encouraging his teammates to maintain the spirit of fair play, solidarity, "not being arrogant in victory, not being discouraged in defeat".
One day, in the middle of a match, he had to leave the field because "the boss had urgent papers to sign", his teammates joked jokingly but respectfully.
Despite being in his 50s, Mr. Xuat still regularly participates in the industry's grassroots tournaments, from internal tournaments between 28 branches to open tournaments. For him, football is not only a sport but also a way to transmit positive energy and connect the collective .
"Football, a sport with a high spirit of connection because to win you must compete with the highest team spirit.
I often encourage my colleagues to go to the football field because after work, standing on a large field, breathing in the fresh air, feels like a release after stressful working hours, all fatigue disappears. I hope there will be more playgrounds like the 2025 Workers and Civil Servants Football Tournament so that union members have more playgrounds to relax after work hours," he said.
