The Vietnam Swans have announced their committee for season 2022. The committee includes a national executive team, which will oversee local committees in both Hanoi and Saigon.
President Eric Kerrison will continue in his role in the chief position, marking his sixth year in the seat.
The official statement, as below, was released on the Swans website.
“As we gear up for the 2022 season the call has gone out to “Make the Swannies Great(er) Again” and it has been answered nation wide. We see the 2022 season as one in which the club can consolidate on productive limited years due to Covid and begin moving back towards normalcy. We’re thrilled to have a committee that brings together fresh blood and old energy and experience. Below is the current structure at the National Executive level and in both Saigon and Hanoi. Thanks to all our volunteer committee members for putting your hands up and to all our players and supporters – please reach out to support your committee at times throughout the season to help share the load as widely as possible. Membership packages, tentative 2022 calendars and sponsorship announcements will follow in the coming weeks.”
