Handball has been included in training and competition by some universities and has had competitions. In addition, some international schools have also included Handball in physical activities for students. However, there are not many units investing in specialized training for high-performance Handball in Vietnam. Currently, in the national competition system, there are tournaments for indoor handball, beach handball and national youth and club handball tournaments.
