1980 saw the inaugural national football championship in Vietnam known locally as the Vietnam National A1 Football Cup.[1]

Seventeen teams took part in the competition that was played in two stages;[citation needed] a Group stage featuring 3 groups of 6 and 5 teams and a Championship stage featuring the three group winners.[2]

Originally there were 18 teams, with 8 from Hồng Hà League in the North, 2 from Trường Sơn League in the Central and 8 from Cửu Long League in the South. However, defending all-Vietnam champions Thể Công (Câu lạc bộ Quân đội) withdrew due to internal reasons.
