Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnam’s track-and-field squad have received remarkable support from sponsors to improve their skills in 2016.
Truong Hai Auto Joinstock Company on July 19 pledged to sponsor the athletes in all their activities this year.
Duc Giang Garment Joinstock Company and Mekong’NTo Company will sponsor uniforms for the national team members, junior competitors and referees.
The first action that the Vietnam Athletics Federation carried out after receiving the sponsorship was to present 100 million VND (4,500 USD) bonus in cash to two athletes, runner Nguyen Thi Huyen and walker Nguyen Thanh Ngung, and their coaches who won tickets to compete at the coming Rio Olympics.
Athletics is an official sport at all sport festivals. It is always Vietnam’s strength in any international competitions.
In the latest Southeast Asian Games in Singapore last year, Vietnamese athletes won 11 gold, 15 silver and eight bronze medals to rank second in the region.
In other news about bonuses for the Olympics, gymnasts Phan Thi Ha Thanh and Pham Phuoc Hung on July 19 received 20 million VND (900 USD) each for their Rio Games’ slots.
Speaking to the media, Vietnam Gymnastics Federation General Secretary Nguyen Kim Lan said it was the first time the federation had presented bonuses to athletes. It was the federation’s strong effort to encourage them for the best result at the biggest global sport event next month.

Vietnam’s cinematic appeal lies in its diverse settings, from terraced mountains and limestone karsts to bustling markets and ancient towns. Its mix of ethnic vibes, buzzing street life, and old traditions gives directors a goldmine for storytelling.
The Vietnamese team will gather on June 26 in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, where they will train until July 14 before departing for Indonesia for the ASEAN U23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29. Vietnam will face Laos on July 19 and Cambodia on July 22 in the group stage.

For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.

The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.

Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
