MSE Group, formerly known as XLE Group, was founded in 2009 with a clear mission: to grow sports in Vietnam and bring the game closer to the nation's youth. At the time, professional basketball barely existed in this country. We started from nothing - one team, and the conviction that sports could become a real industry in Vietnam.
More than fifteen years on, MSE Group has become a diversified sports and entertainment group, operating multiple business units across professional sports, youth development, motorsports entertainment, and culinary and lifestyle experiences. We operate in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with a workforce that spans professional athletes, local and international coaches, training specialists, track technicians, event operations crews, and the Group's corporate functions.
