Aiming at sports economy, Dong Nai Club Chairman was elected as Chairman of the Provincial Tourism Association

(NLDO) - In the direction of Dong Nai Club to create a sustainable sports economy, the Club President has just taken on a new position.

Dong Nai School of Youth Club aims to develop sports economy , create revenue for football and build a professional football team towards V-League.

In particular, the club plans to develop tourism combined with football - a model that has been applied by HAGL Club in recent times (fans come to the home stadium of the mountain town football team or accompany them to away stadiums, watch the stars compete and visit famous tourist attractions, relics and cultural sites of each locality).

This strategy may not bring in large revenues, but it also creates the first steps, building and shaping the development of the sports economy.
