Local team Dat Vinh Tien (DVT) bagged the coveted title of Tiger Street Football Grand Champions and the top prize of USD30,000 to the deafening cheers of the crowd after a goal-packed finals match. They emerged the winner out of the National Champions from tournament legs in Cambodia, Australia, Mongolia, Malaysia, China and Singapore, two International teams from Brazil and England, and four teams in Vietnam from Day 1 of the Grand Final. These four Vietnam teams, Tam Hoan Chau, Thuan Phung Hung, DVT and Quang Dinh, were the top local teams from 1,000 teams which entered qualifiers held across six cities.

South Canton from China put up a good showing throughout the finals, and claimed their hard earned runner up position after an intense battle with the DVT, to achieve a final scoreline of 8-0.
