Spanish club Barcelona and the Japanese corporation YHA Friday launched their “Just for Kicks” football clinic in Ho Chi Minh City for boys aged 10 to 14.

The three-day clinic includes a training session for aspiring coaches from HCMC.

“Just for Kicks” began life in Singapore in 2007 and aims to impart the Spanish football philosophy.

YHA, a subsidiary of Yoshida Kogyo Kabusikigaisya, and FC Barcelona, view their football clinics in Vietnam and India as a form of corporate social responsibility.

“It is important for YKK to contribute to and work with the local community. I believe that this event will bring great joy to children in Vietnam and India,” said YHA’s managing director, Ken Nakano.
