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 Saca Arena in An Phu, District 2, just a 10 minute drive from Thao Dien. You pay nothing for your first session.

Nayan HeijmansClub Chairman
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

We strive to ensure we maintain and uphold our core club values. Saigon Raiders “more than just a football club”
