ĐÀ NẴNG — A donation, raised from U2U & Friends friendly football tournament in the central city, will be presented to families of the dead from flooding in the central region, national athletes with disabilities, facilities for an ethnic group boarding school and underprivileged university students in Quảng Trị, Thừa Thiên Huế and Quảng Nam provinces.

The tournament organising committee said the VNĐ120 million (US$4,800) donation was contributed from Việt Nam’s Unicorn Ultra block chain platform, Đà Nẵng Journalist Football club and Sơn Trà district at the football tourney.

It said the donation would go toward six families of flood victims, six disabled sportspersons with good results in the Hangzhou Asian Para Games, equipment for a school board in Nam Giang district of Quảng Nam Province, and scholarships for two poor students at Duy Tân Đà Nẵng University.
