Living in a mountainous area, residents of Cao Lau commune in the northern mountain province of Lang Son have to cultivate in terraced fields. After harvesting, Cao Lau’s boys play football in bare feet.
VietNamNet’s Le Anh Dung recorded a football match in terraced fields through his lens.
 |
| When rice is harvested, Cao Lau’s boys start playing “fierce” football matches on the terraced fields. |
 |
| It is difficult to find a wide field like this. |
 |
| The goalkeeper protects his makeshift goal. |
 |
| Tough feet. |
 |
| After the match the remains of the rice crops are left leveled by the players. |
 |
 |
| Paths at edges of rice fields mark the edges of the “pitch” in this natural play-ground. |
 |
 |
| Boys have to climb tens of steps to return the ball. |
 |
| No ball boys here. |
 |
| With two rice crops a year, the young footballers can use this playground from now until March. |
 |
| Me Van Kien, a player, said that annually, they can play football between the two crops because there is no other plot of land that is large enough to play football in his commune. |
