On November 3, Vietnamese striker Nguyen Cong Phuong joined representatives from ANESSA and the Japan Football Association (JFA) at the official launch of the “ANESSA Sunshine Project” in Vietnam. This global initiative aims to foster holistic child development by promoting healthy outdoor play and activity under the sun, encouraging children to engage in physical activities that support their well-being.
The “ANESSA Sunshine Project” seeks to inspire children across various regions to embrace an active lifestyle and cultivate confidence through sports and play. ANESSA, a leading skincare brand known for its suncare products, aims to expand the project’s reach, helping communities benefit from outdoor play while promoting protection and health. This event marks the project’s official debut in Vietnam, where it has already garnered positive responses from local communities and sports organizations.
Nguyen Cong Phuong, one of Vietnam’s most popular footballers and a representative of Vietnamese athletic success, expressed his enthusiasm for the project. Known for his relentless dedication on the field, Cong Phuong emphasized the importance of active and healthy lifestyles for young people. “It’s crucial for children to have a chance to play outside, connect with others, and build confidence through sports,” Cong Phuong remarked. “Through initiatives like the ANESSA Sunshine Project, we’re not only encouraging play but also fostering a foundation for lifelong health and resilience.”
The day before the event, on November 2, Cong Phuong demonstrated his own commitment to sports excellence in a challenging match for Binh Phuoc in the National First Division. Playing under difficult weather conditions, with heavy rain creating a slippery pitch, Cong Phuong led his team to a 2-0 victory over Khanh Hoa, scoring both goals and securing Binh Phuoc’s first win of the season. Known for his precision and agility, the Nghia An native delivered a stunning performance that not only brought Binh Phuoc crucial points but also moved the club temporarily to second place in the standings.
In the match against Khanh Hoa, Cong Phuong initially faced difficulties due to the “waterlogged” pitch conditions. However, he showcased his adaptability and skill, scoring twice and guiding Binh Phuoc to a well-deserved victory. His decisive performance was particularly notable, as it signaled a promising start for the club in the 2024/25 National First Division season. His goals also boosted his standing as one of the league’s top strikers, illustrating his continuing importance to Vietnamese football.
As the ANESSA Sunshine Project unfolds in Vietnam, ANESSA and the JFA are optimistic about its potential to make a lasting impact. Collaborating with local sports figures like Cong Phuong, who embodies resilience and sportsmanship, strengthens the project’s message. By advocating for outdoor activities, ANESSA and JFA aim to empower children to experience the benefits of sunlight and outdoor play safely, using sports as a medium to inspire a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
With Cong Phuong’s involvement, the project gains a relatable figure for young Vietnamese athletes and fans, encouraging them to embrace sports not only as a path to physical fitness but also as a source of joy and personal growth. The ANESSA Sunshine Project promises to expand its reach across Vietnam, with plans for further events that will continue to underscore the importance of outdoor play and protection against environmental elements.
As Cong Phuong now turns his attention back to the pitch, his goals and advocacy for youth sports solidify his role as a leader both on and off the field. His contribution to Vietnamese football, paired with his support for youth initiatives, exemplifies the profound influence sports figures can have on inspiring the next generation. Through both his athletic achievements and community involvement, Cong Phuong remains a celebrated figure in Vietnam, reflecting the values of perseverance, passion, and positive community impact.
