Looking for a footy field in Vietnam

Looking for a footy field in Vietnam

So who brought footy to Vietnam? The Hanoi Hawks? The Saigon Saints? The Hanoi Swans? Or, the Vietnam Swans?
According to the Wikipedia, Aussie Rules was first played in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
“A match was played in May 1966 between members of the 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment.

“A social game was organised in 1969 by Captain Bill McMahon of Croydon, Victoria, a former Melbourne Football Club and Sandringham Football Club footballer. The match was billed as “Diggers” vs “The Rest” which was played with Vietnamese soldiers in August at the headquarters of the Free World Military Assistance Organisation.

“In 1971, Australian Force Vietnam (AFV) and 110 Signal Squadron played a match in Saigon organised by Private Conboy of Clifton Hill, Victoria, also a previous member of the Melbourne Football Club Under 19s squad.

“There was at least one contest between 110 Signal Squadron and 104 Signal Squadron in 1970, one being played at a police or army academy at the sea-side village of Vung Tau and a little later another between the Nui Dat based units of 104 Signal Squadron and 106 Field Workshops on pretty rough ground at the Reinforcement Wing at the Dat.
