In his opening remarks at the Congress, Chairman of the Me Linh Commune People's Committee Tran Thanh Hoai affirmed that the first-ever sports and physical education congress was being held in the context of the entire commune implementing a two-tiered local government model in accordance with the policy of Hanoi city.
This is a new stage of development, where communes are granted more authority, resources, and conditions to directly care for the lives of the people, with the central task being the development of culture, physical education and sports, and improving public health.
The Congress is a cultural and sports festival of significant political importance, demonstrating the spirit of "All citizens practicing physical training following the example of the great President Ho Chi Minh," aiming for the goal of "Being healthy to build and defend the Fatherland." At the same time, it is an opportunity to showcase the strength of unity, willpower, and healthy sporting spirit of the Party Committee, government, and people of Me Linh commune - the homeland of the heroic Trung Sisters.
In recent times, the mass sports and physical education movement in the commune has developed strongly, spreading widely across all 20 villages, agencies, and units. Sports clubs maintain vibrant activities, attracting a large number of people to participate, contributing to improving health, promoting community cohesion, and building a progressive cultural life.
This year's Games featured over 1,500 athletes competing in 10 events, including football, volleyball, badminton, chess, martial arts, and athletics. The Games not only showcased the strength of the participants but also served as an opportunity to assess the quality of grassroots sports and physical education movements, and to select outstanding athletes to represent the commune at the upcoming city-level sports and physical education Games.
The leaders of Me Linh commune emphasized that improving the health of the people is a decisive factor in building a strong workforce in the new era. In the coming time, the commune will continue to invest in cultural institutions and basic sports facilities, strengthen the mass sports network, and expand the socialization of physical education and sports activities. Along with that, Me Linh will promote propaganda and encourage all citizens to regularly practice physical exercise and sports, creating positive changes in civilized lifestyles and improving the quality of life.
Immediately after the opening ceremony, the official competitions took place with great enthusiasm, attracting a large number of people to cheer, creating an exciting atmosphere right from the beginning of the Games. The Games will take place from October 26th to 30th, 2025, and are expected to conclude with an awards ceremony for outstanding teams and individuals.
