REGISTRATIONS OPEN AS MB BRINGS PRO PICKLEBALL BACK TO HO CHI MINH CITY

Pickleball’s momentum in Vietnam shows no signs of slowing, and Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB) is back to drive it forward. MB returns as title sponsor for the Ho Chi Minh City Open, with the PPA Asia 500 stop set to be staged from August 6–9.

This marks the fourth time MB has partnered with PPA Tour Asia, continuing one of the tour’s defining relationships in the region. The partnership most recently delivered the MB Hanoi Cup in April, and now returns to Ho Chi Minh City and the same Global City stage that hosted the landmark MB Vietnam Open in 2025.

MB’s continued involvement reflects its belief in pickleball as more than a game but also as a means of fostering community, connection and shared experience among players and fans across Vietnam. From the very first event, MB has helped bring a world-class pickleball experience to local players and fans – investing in the sport as it continues its rapid rise across in the region.

“MB’s continued role as Title Sponsor of the PPA Asia 500 Ho Chi Minh City Open 2026 is more than the extension of a sponsorship. It reaffirms our long-term commitment to bringing world-class sports experiences closer to Vietnamese audiences and to accompanying PPA Tour Asia in the growth journey of the most emerging sports – pickleball in Vietnam,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Viet Nga, Chief Marketing Officer of MB.

At MB, we believe true prosperity is not measured only by financial success, but also by the quality of people experiences, health motivations and meaningful moments in life. Through this continued partnership, MB Priority continues to bring its promise to life: A happy hub for happiness in every moment — where financial well-being is connected with emotional fulfillment and a star-bright inspired lifestyle.

We believe the PPA Ho Chi Minh City Open 2026 will again become a meaningful milestone for pickleball in Vietnam, and a memorable, engaging experience for our customers and the community to work, play and live happily.”
