As part of a time-honoured tradition, the staff of the
Home Office – UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) competed
in their 10th annual Bangkok Football Tournament,
held at the Polo Football Club in Bangkok, Thailand, on
12 November 2016.
VFS Global was privileged to support the event on its
10th anniversary, in line with the company’s commitment
to its long-standing association of over 13 years with
the Government of the United Kingdom and the warm
relationship shared with the client.
In the highly anticipated tournament, organised by the
British Embassy in Bangkok, UKVI staff participated from
10 locations situated across the globe. Commendable
team spirit and camaraderie shone through the
admirable sportsmanship displayed during the exciting
six-a-side matches played at the tournament. The
day, true to form, helped fortify and strengthen the ties
between teams and evoked a true sense of fellowship in
all who attended.
