Sportsmanship in the journey of connection

With the support of Crystal Star Entertainment, V-Pickleball Connect 2025 was shaped as a high-class sports-entertainment event, rising beyond the framework of a typical tournament. Behind every swing on the court lay a desire to share and a spirit of community bonding through the pure and powerful energy of sports.

The organizing team, including Nguyen Trung Kien (Chairman and Founder of V-Pickleball Connect), Vu Thai (Founder of Crystal Star), Ruby Anh Thu (Deputy Head of Organizing Committee), and singer Mai Huy (Deputy Head of Organizing Committee), created an event that was not only professional but also rich in community significance. Alongside the support of prestigious brands such as Opal Beauty & Care, Vivian Beauty Salon, Bom Car Luxury, Louis Top Juice, Khoa Lam Group, Mai Huy Lobster Hub, and the media sponsorship network, the tournament truly became a bridge connecting businesses, art, and the public.
