In celebration of its 32nd anniversary, Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SeABank, HOSE: SSB) will host the SeABank Pickleball Championship 2026 on April 11–12, 2026 at US Pickleball Court (70 An Duong, Hong Ha Ward, Hanoi), featuring a total prize pool of over VND200 million. This community sporting event carries a strong social mission, as participating athletes contribute to the SeADreams Scholarship Fund, supporting underprivileged students nationwide and advancing environmental sustainability.

Amid the rapid rise of pickleball in Vietnam, SeABank Pickleball Championship not only responds to growing demand for active lifestyles but also promotes well-being and work-life balance. It also provides an opportunity for the pickleball community, SeABank’s customers and employees to engage in a meaningful social initiative.

The SeABank Pickleball Championship 2026 is expected to bring together approximately 400 players, including SeABank employees, customers, partners, and the wider pickleball community. The tournament will feature a diverse range of competition categories, from amateur and semi-professional to professional levels, including Women’s Doubles (combined rating 4.6), Mixed Doubles (5.2), Men’s Doubles (6.4), and Open Doubles (7.6), creating an inclusive and highly engaging playing field.

All participation fees will be donated to the SeADreams Scholarship Fund to provide annual scholarships for underprivileged students with strong academic performance. Established by SeABank in 2015, the SeADreams Fund supports disadvantaged students through to their high school completion. Over the past decade, the Fund has supported 219 students with total funding of more than VND15 billion, in which 74 beneficiaries have continued to higher education or vocational training.

In addition to the main competition categories, a highlight of the SeABank Pickleball Championship 2026 is the “Pickleball Four Champions” matches, scheduled at 1:00 PM on April 11, 2026. The event will feature four of Vietnam’s top players, including Ly Hoang Nam, Trinh Linh Giang, Truong Vinh Hien, and Nguyen Huu Hung Anh, competing in men’s singles. The participation of professional athletes not only enhances the technical quality but also delivers an exciting sporting experience. Tickets for the “Four Champions” matches will be given to donors supporting the SeAGreen Fund, contributing to environmental protection initiatives, climate action, and reforestation efforts. 

A SeABank representative shared: “Organizing sports activities to raise scholarship funds for children is part of SeABank’s annual initiatives to mobilize community support for meaningful social initiatives. Through the SeABank Pickleball Championship 2026, we aim to further connect the community, promote a spirit of sportsmanship, and, most importantly, help underprivileged children continue their education.

More than a sporting event, this is a reaffirmation of SeABank’s community commitment. Every rally on the court goes beyond competition to create opportunities and a brighter future for children in need.

By integrating sports with social impact, SeABank continues to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable development, with the “S – Social” pillar translated into tangible initiatives. From internal charitable programs to large-scale community activities, the Bank is steadily building a value ecosystem where business growth goes hand in hand with social responsibility.
