Head of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation at ASIAD 19 - Mr. Dang Ha Viet.
Vietnamese sports recognize that this ASIAD presents many advantages and opportunities, but also numerous difficulties and challenges. Some sports and events in which Vietnam excels are not included in the Games' program, unlike previous ASIADs. Nevertheless, Vietnamese sports are doing everything possible to approach this ASIAD with the greatest spirit and aspiration.
According to Mr. Dang Ha Viet, in 2023, the main task of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation is to prepare the team to participate in international sports events, with participation in ASIAD 19 being one of the important tasks identified, which is significant in elevating the level of Vietnamese sports.
Immediately after the conclusion of the 32nd SEA Games held in Cambodia, the sports sector conducted a review and assessment, continuing to maintain the force of athletes, coaches, and training experts at the National Sports Training Centers. Simultaneously, they selected and categorized sports groups to focus investment on and sent outstanding athletes for overseas training and competition in domestic and international tournaments to improve their professional skills, accumulate experience, and build their competitive mindset before the major sporting event.
