The main sponsorship for the Bamboo Airways National Volleyball Championship 2021 is an important activity in Bamboo Airways and FLC Group' strategy of accompanying, supporting, and developing the domestic sports scene.

Previously, Bamboo Airways signed a memorandum with Vinh Phuc Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to cooperate on training the province's women’s volleyball team.

"The investment of big enterprises such as FLC and Bamboo Airways in clubs has brought a breath of fresh air to Vietnamese volleyball. The atmosphere of transferring players has changed. What makes us delighted is that volleyball athletes will be able to live on income from their profession, and will even reach the income levels of football players in the coming time. In case the clubs receive adequate attention and sponsorship, we will have better athletes to prepare for the upcoming SEA Games.
