ĐÀ NẴNG — Nestlé Việt Nam, through its Nestlé MILO brand, has joined local authorities in opening and handing over a community sports facility at the Quan Nam 5 Community Cultural Centre in Liên Chiểu Ward, Đà Nẵng City, expanding opportunities for children and residents to take part in physical activities.

The initiative is part of the company's Việt Nam Active programme and follows a cooperation plan among the Việt Nam School Sports Association, the Ministry of Education and Training and Nestlé Việt Nam to promote physical education, school sports and communication on nutrition and school health.

It also contributes to the Government's efforts to promote mass participation in physical exercise and improve public health and fitness, particularly among younger generations.

In 2026, Nestlé MILO sponsors the construction of five community sports facilities in Đà Nẵng City and Nghệ An Province. Equipped for popular sports such as football, basketball, badminton and volleyball, the facilities aim to bring sports closer to children and local residents, particularly in areas with limited access to sports infrastructure.

At the handover ceremony, representatives of local authorities, Nestlé Việt Nam and relevant organisations officially inaugurated the facility. 

Lê Bùi Mai Uyên, Director of MILO and Dairy at Nestlé Việt Nam, said every child deserved the opportunity to participate in sports, regardless of their geographical location or living circumstances.

"Through the development of community sports facilities, in cooperation with local authorities and partners, we hope to provide children with safe, practical and accessible spaces for physical activities, encouraging them to develop regular exercise habits and grow more holistically," she said.

Beyond promoting healthy and active lifestyles, the facilities are also expected to provide spaces where residents can meet, interact and build stronger community connections.

Following the handover, the local authorities will take responsibility for managing and operating the facility to serve the sports and recreational needs of children and residents.

With five facilities planned in Đà Nẵng and Nghệ An in 2026, and further expansion expected in 2027, Nestlé MILO aims to continue advancing its Việt Nam Active programme in partnership with relevant organisations and local communities, helping more children access sports and supporting the development of a healthier and more active generation. — VNS
