In recent times, Vietnamese basketball has changed dramatically. To achieve the current achievements and influence, the Vietnam Basketball Federation has proactively seized the opportunity from the attention of sports managers and business organizations to urgently plan and find its own direction without being too dependent on state funding.

Along with operating and organizing professional basketball tournaments in Vietnam for many years, the Vietnam Basketball Federation always aims to promote the development of community basketball, according to the orientation of Vietnam's sports tasks.

Vietnamese basketball shows great potential when attracting the attention of a large number of fans, especially young people.

Sharing about the basketball training movement in the locality, Mr. Bui Trung Hieu said that in the province, basketball is considered to be "born later" than other sports.

However, with the advantage of helping to train physical strength, develop height... basketball is increasingly attracting young people to practice. Many clubs are established from schools, groups... many grassroots tournaments are organized systematically and professionally, contributing to the development of this sport more deeply and widely.
