About the Club
Saigon Raiders were founded in 1990 as the first expatriate football team in Vietnam. Originally Scandinavian, we now boast members from all over the world. The Raiders are well known as a club with a fantastic spirit and the right approach to amateur football in Saigon. As our motto ‘More than a club, a lifestyle’ indicates, we strive for just as much fun off the pitch as on it.
A second motto could be ‘Raiders for life’. Former players stay with the club, attending matches and social events. This, along with our many nationalities, gives us our identity.
Training with the Raiders
We are always looking for new and enthusiastic players. Even if you just want to train, or join in the socials, you are welcome.
If you want regular football in HCMC, we train every Tuesday night from 7.30-9.30pm at Tri Hai Football Complex in An Phu, District 2, just a 10 minute drive from Thao Dien. You pay nothing for your first session.

Raiders v AFC, 12.03.12
Los goles que se erran en el arco de enfrente se sufren en el propio. It was a great opportunity for Raiders to keep oiling the machine, and in addition try new combination of players. It was indeed a good mix of players that were not very used to play together, making things more fun […]
Raiders v Saints 4th March 2023
What do you do on a hot Saturday afternoon in March? You go work up a thirst playing in the oldest expat derby in Saigon. Saints showed great promise pre season by winning the Ashes and the delayed Cup during the pre season but that early promise fizzled out. This was our third league encounter […]
Saigon Raiders vs Sporting Saigon 18.2.23
‘Good things come to those who wait’ they say, like Hoggy’s return from injury, Myles’ return from finding himself, and erm…this match report. A full 2 weeks from the fixture having been played, the writer only hopes for an epic fail within a comprehensive Raiders victory today, against the S**ts, so turkey duties can be […]

Coaching at Raiders isn’t about achieving technical excellence. It’s about being part of a multicultural community that works together both on and off the field. The philosophy is simple. Train hard, compete in every game and respect all. Time is our most precious currency so I encourage everyone to spend it wisely. Sport really does highlight the character of an athlete and allows each of us to challenge ourselves. The fun part definitely comes when we hit our goals, individually and collectively. It’s not taking part that’s the fun, it’s competing.
Colin Dixon Head Coach
Founded in 1990 our aim is to continue to develop the most welcoming, friendly and competitive football club in Saigon. From our dedicated coaching team who manage all our on-field matters, through to our committee who ensure we provide social events for our members, support within the community with our charity work to our partnerships with local businesses. We strive to ensure we maintain and uphold our core club values. Saigon Raiders “more than just a football club”
