Meanwhile, in Rowing, after positive signals in the tournaments before the SEA Games, the Rowing Department and the team's coaching staff have re-analyzed the balance of power and decided to increase the target from 6 to 8 gold medals.

The Deputy Minister and specialized departments reviewed and carefully analyzed the opportunities in each event to adjust the targets and balance the number of athletes accordingly.

Another big rival of the Vietnamese sports delegation at this SEA Games is Indonesia. The archipelago country plans to send 1,000 athletes with the goal of winning 92 gold medals, ranking second at the Games. In addition, the Philippine delegation also plans to send about 1,000 members to participate while the Singapore delegation is 800 people.

To achieve the above goal, the Deputy Minister requested the Vietnam Sports Department and training centers to closely follow the training roadmap and curriculum to promptly resolve difficulties. Teams also need to adjust their training plans to be systematic, scientific , flexible, effective, and meet requirements. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to taking good care of and recovering athletes, helping them to have the best physical condition and form.

The 33rd Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games 2025) will be hosted by Thailand from December 9 to 20, 2025, with the theme “Bringing Southeast Asia Together”. This year’s Games aim to demonstrate the spirit of solidarity, sustainable development and innovation, spreading the spirit of sportsmanship throughout Thailand.
Although Bangkok, Chonburi and Songkhla are the three main venues, the 33rd SEA Games will be held across 10 provinces including: Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom, Chonburi, Rayong, Songkhla, Chiang Mai and Ratchaburi. This will also cause many difficulties for the delegations because the forces are dispersed and have to spread out to many locations.
