With 2020’s calendar being gutted the Swans are looking to our oldest and most heated rivalry, the rivalry that has raged on the North and South of the DMZ for generations. It was this rivalry in fact, which gave our ANZAC Friendship Match the base from which it has grown.

In 2020 we will renew hostilities with a 3 match series venturing to Hanoi then down to Saigon and finishing by the beach in Hoi An. As the song goes -“whether you’re from the South or the North” – get excited!

Round 1 Hanoi

Date

Saturday, 4th of July, 2020. Games from 9am.

If you’re in town on Friday the 3rd of July, get down to the Local Sports Bar in Hanoi to say hi.
