Chelsea Football Club’s international fan engagement programme, The Famous CFC, has unveiled the location for an April event and a legendary Blues striker will be travelling to the city of Hanoi to spend a weekend with Blues supporters there.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will be making his first official club visit to Vietnam, in partnership with The Ascott Limited, Chelsea FC’s official hotels partner, and will be meeting and greeting fans and attending an exclusive event for Blues fans in Hanoi.

This season, The Famous CFC has already visited Australia, Indonesia, China and Thailand and on 17 and 18 April, the latest edition will be held across Ascott Tay Ho Hanoi, Oakwood Residence Hanoi and Somerset West Point Hanoi. The programme will culminate in A Night with the Blues, an exclusive event for Chelsea fans hosted by Chelsea Football Club and Ascott. Taking place at the Ho Tay Grand Ballroom at Ascott Tay Ho Hanoi, the evening on the Saturday will be part of the build-up to the Chelsea versus Manchester United fixture that weekend.

Join Jimmy

Known for his iconic goalscoring prowess and electrifying presence on the pitch, Hasselbaink remains one of the most celebrated forwards in Chelsea’s modern era. In his four years at the club from 2000 to 2004, he produced 87 goals in 177 appearances and captured the 2000/01 Premier League Golden Boot with 23 strikes. Scoring on his debut against Manchester United, he quickly became a fan favourite and a defining presence in Chelsea’s frontline of the time.

Hasselbaink’s appearance in Vietnam brings an exciting lift to the theme for this fan experience - A Legend at a Legendary Venue. Ho Tay Grand Ballroom is the largest pillarless ballroom in Hanoi and it will be transformed into a Stamford Bridge–inspired arena for our visit.

The Famous CFC is designed to create unforgettable memories for fans around the world and the Hanoi edition will continue this tradition with an exciting two-day programme featuring special fan activities, including the exclusive meet-and-greet and evening event with Hasselbaink.

Looking ahead to the occasion, Hasselbaink said: ‘Visiting Vietnam for the first time with Chelsea is something I am really excited about. I have always felt the love from our fans in Asia, and it reminds me why the Chelsea family is so special. Events like The Famous CFC let us relive memories, share new ones and celebrate the game we all love. I cannot wait to meet our supporters in Hanoi and feel that incredible blue passion again.’
