The 2011-2012 League has finally ended with a double title for Drink Team.
It was the second year I was in charge of the organization. It was a real pleasure to make this competition keep living after more than 11 years now.

I believe that the Hanoi International Football League can still be developed but as for many things in life, development means change. That's why I've decided to let the lead to someone else (a person or group of persons) from now.
A lot of work still need to be done: find new teams for next season and possibly reach 10 teams, write a rules book, among other things. I hope the HIFL will keep its amateur way of management (free of charge except pitches and officials), nothing to win but pride and glory.

Of course I'll not leave like this and I'll be available to give all the passwords (email address and blog) & all the tricks that helped me to complete the job.

I wish good luck to all teams for the next years and a lot of success to the new organizer.
I'd like also to thanks Fred who helped me a lot during those 2 last years.

Hope to see you all soon on the pitch,

Brice aka Chiên
