Reportedly, only some foreign players joined the team at first and then the number of foreign members has increasingly increased, sometime up to 14 foreigners out of 20 members. “Taking part in the club has helped me and many officers and staffs of Anh Duong Co., Ltd improve health condition as well as created a relationship with Vietnamese friends so we can know more about the people, custom and culture of the place where we are living and working,” said Andrey Smirnov, senior member of Truong Sa – Hoang Sa Club, councilor of Anh Duong Co., Ltd. 
 
Kirill Leonov, Truong Sa – Hoang Sa Club’s member, member of directorate of Anh Duong Company, said “I like football so I join the club’s activities whenever I have free time. I hope that the club will be maintained and keep developing. Beside football, the club also organizes charity activities. I am happy to take part in those meaningful programs.”
 
According to Le Duc Phuc, one of the formers of Hoang Sa – Truong Sa Football Club, the charity work held by the club has been carried out based on the contribution of the club’s members. All the members of the club are supportive and happy in joining these charity programs. The club often gives support to orphans and charity kitchens. Reportedly, the club has recently visited Loc Tho orphan establishment (Nha Trang) and offered VND5 million and cartons of Vinamilk to the orphans. The club has planed to hold charity activity once a quarter.
 
“Hoang Sa and Truong Sa (Paracel Islands and Spratly Islands) are the country’s sacred archipelagos. The images of players of Hoang Sa – Truong Sa Club playing football in the uniforms displaying the image of Vietnam’s national flag and name of these archipelagos have left good and meaningful impressions on the public. This is also one of the reasons we named the club Hoang Sa – Truong Sa,” said Le Duc Phuc.  
 
Hoang Sa – Truong Sa Football Club have also received supports from Wave Nha Trang Co., Ltd. This patronage has contributed to make the image of the club become more beautiful and unforgettable.
