In 1994, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) of the second term held a competition to design a new logo.[28][29] The winning design was created by artist Nguyen Ngoc Than.[30][31] The logo features a yellow background, a red triangle, and a stylized football. The red triangle represents the national flag, and the stylized football represents the passion for football in Vietnam. The three letters VFF stand for Vietnam Football Federation.[32]

The current logo of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) features a stylized football with the three letters "VFF" inside it. The football is surrounded by the Vietnamese flag, which is red with a yellow star in the center. The logo was designed to honor the history and development of Vietnamese football, and to show the Federation's commitment to meeting the needs of fans, friends, and international football organizations. It was designed by Nguyen Cong Quang and has been in use since 2008.[33]

On April 28, 2008, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) Executive Committee officially announced the use of the new VFF logo in all related transactions from May 1, 2008. The use of the old logo ended on December 31, 2008.
