Reporting to the Prime Minister at the ceremony, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Sports Administration, Head of the Vietnam Sports Delegation to the 33rd SEA Games Nguyen Hong Minh said that immediately after the 32nd SEA Games, the Vietnam Sports Administration had conducted a comprehensive review of the athletes and coaches nationwide, clearly identifying key sports in the direction of focusing on the Olympic sports group. On that basis, the national teams were strengthened and reorganized, and at the same time, proactively selected athletes with outstanding abilities and great potential to win medals to be included in the list of preparations for the 33rd SEA Games.
Training is carried out in a focused manner, ensuring compliance with the scientific training cycle. Athletes are able to improve their physical strength, perfect their techniques and tactics through intensive training at the National Sports Training Centers. Many teams are sent to train abroad to hone their competitive spirit, compete with international standards and update modern training trends. The application of sports science, from technical analysis technology, biomedicine, nutrition to injury recovery, is enhanced and implemented synchronously, contributing to improving the quality of preparation of the entire Delegation.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh gave a speech directing and assigning tasks to the Vietnamese Sports Delegation.
Foreign experts continue to accompany many key teams, playing an important role in improving professional skills, building tactics and maintaining the stability of the force.
Along with that, the planning and budgeting for training and competition activities, equipment and uniforms as well as ensuring travel and accommodation conditions in accordance with the requirements of the 33rd SEA Games Organizing Committee were carried out carefully and thoroughly. Training and competition equipment were inspected, upgraded and supplemented to meet competition standards.
In terms of health, doctors and medical experts are mobilized to regularly monitor the health of athletes, especially during periods of high intensity training. Anti-doping work is strictly implemented; training courses and internal inspections are deployed to ensure absolute compliance with WADA regulations and to maintain the reputation of our country's sports.
The members of the Delegation were fully informed of the regulations and discipline in activities and competitions. Coordination plans with the SEA Games Organizing Committee and the Vietnamese diplomatic representative agency in Thailand were prepared to ensure safety, security and communication for the entire Delegation during the Games.
Deputy Director of the Vietnam Sports Administration, Head of the Vietnam Sports Delegation attending the 33rd SEA Games Nguyen Hong Minh reported at the ceremony.
The Vietnamese Sports Delegation participated in the 33rd SEA Games with 1,165 members, including 842 athletes, 189 coaches, and 19 experts competing in 47/66 sports, with a total of 443/574 events. Although there are still difficulties, such as some key sports are in the process of rejuvenating their forces; a number of young athletes still lack international competition experience; funding for overseas training is still limited compared to actual needs. Along with that, the competition from strong countries in the region such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines is increasingly fierce, creating great pressure on the Delegation's achievement goals.
The event also recognized the efforts of the team of coaches, experts and staff, along with the accompaniment and support of organizations and businesses in the process of preparing for the Vietnamese Sports Delegation to participate in the 33rd SEA Games such as Herbalife Vietnam One Member Co., Ltd., Dong Luc Joint Stock Company, Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Vietnam Co., Ltd., LPBank, TikTok Vietnam, California Fitness & Yoga Vietnam, Donex Sport Badminton, Vietnam Airlines ....

All officials, experts, coaches and athletes of the Vietnam Sports Delegation are deeply aware that this is an important task, a great responsibility and honor when competing for the glory of the Fatherland, for the pride of the Vietnamese people" - Head of the Delegation Nguyen Hong Minh reported.
Along with that, with sincere feelings and sympathy for our compatriots in areas affected by natural disasters and floods, members of the Vietnam Sports Delegation would like to contribute 116,500,000 VND to help share and reduce the difficulties of our compatriots.
Look far, look wide, think deep, do big
After listening to the report of Head of Delegation Nguyen Hong Minh and giving instructions at the ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that sports play a particularly important role and are always given attention and regularly led and directed by the Party and State.
Quoting President Ho Chi Minh's advice on the particularly important role of sports: "Preserving democracy, building the country, creating a new life, everything requires health to be successful. Every weak citizen means the whole country is weak, every healthy citizen means the whole country is healthy. Therefore, exercising and improving health is the duty of every patriot", the Prime Minister assessed that Vietnamese sports, in recent times, have made many efforts and achieved many important achievements, not only contributing to improving health, building a healthy cultural life, but also demonstrating outstanding talent, iron will, perseverance, resilience, striving to rise up and affirming the image of an integrated, civilized Vietnam, confidently standing shoulder to shoulder with friends in the region and the world.

Recently, many localities in the Central and Central Highlands have suffered from storms and floods, causing great damage to people and property. Under the leadership of the Party, the entire political system has joined the people in promoting the spirit of solidarity, mutual love, "national love, compatriotism", making efforts to minimize damage, quickly overcome the consequences and soon stabilize people's lives and production and business activities.
Appreciating the spirit of mutual love and support, "the whole leaves cover the torn leaves, the less torn leaves cover the more torn leaves" of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation in donating to support their compatriots, the Prime Minister emphasized that it is that resilient spirit and pride that flows in the "blood" of generations of Vietnamese people, and is also the strength and great source of encouragement for the Vietnamese Sports Delegation, coaches and athletes when entering the 33rd SEA Games.
Sympathizing with the host country Thailand, which is also suffering damage due to the impact of storms and floods, forcing changes in the organization of the 33rd SEA Games, the Prime Minister advised that the impact of objective conditions on sports delegations, including Vietnam, requires high adaptability, courage, discipline and a strong mentality when entering the competition.
Minister Nguyen Van Hung spoke to receive instructions from Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
"The spirit of noble sports is the spirit of never giving up, overcoming difficulties, surpassing one's own limits for the sake of the flag and the uniform. That spirit is also the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people throughout the history of fighting for independence and building and developing the country, or in proactively preventing and overcoming the consequences of natural disasters. I hope and believe that in the luggage of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation, the coaches and athletes participating in the SEA Games will bring that spirit of overcoming difficulties, steadfast will, and courage into each race, each match and achieve the highest results, so that the "red flag with yellow star" flies high in the regional arena, bringing glory to the Fatherland" - the Prime Minister emphasized.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, acknowledging, highly appreciating and warmly commending the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, relevant agencies and units, the entire Vietnamese Sports Delegation, coaches and athletes for their careful preparation in all aspects, contributing to creating a solid foundation to achieve the highest achievements at the 33rd SEA Games, the Prime Minister requested Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung to direct the Vietnamese Sports Delegation, coaches and athletes to focus on thoroughly grasping and implementing well the 3 tasks.
Firstly, each officer, coach and athlete must be fully aware of their responsibility to "play their best and surpass themselves". Consider each match as a final. Compete with the greatest effort and determination, break personal records and aim for regional records.
Second, promote the noble spirit of sportsmanship (Fair Play) and the beauty of Vietnamese culture: Compete fiercely, with honesty and nobility, but absolutely respect opponents, respect referees and respect the audience. Each member of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation must demonstrate the role of a "cultural ambassador", contributing to spreading the image of Vietnamese people as benevolent, peaceful, intelligent and civilized, contributing to consolidating and tightening solidarity, friendship and cooperation with the people of Southeast Asian countries.
Third, absolute compliance with discipline: The entire delegation needs to maintain discipline, order, and standard behavior; promote the spirit of solidarity and unity in will and action; strictly comply with competition rules and international standards; maintain a civilized lifestyle, and ensure absolute safety for health and security throughout the duration of the Congress.

The Prime Minister also emphasized that the sports industry needs to "look far, look wide, think deeply, and do big things", and then look to the future, and strive to organize the ASIAD, even the Olympics or World Cup in Vietnam.
"Millions of hearts of domestic sports fans are turning to the Vietnamese Sports Delegation, coaches, and athletes, and placing all their trust and hope in you with the "red flag with a yellow star on your chest". We believe that the Vietnamese Sports Delegation will promote the highest sense of responsibility, Vietnamese bravery, Vietnamese will, Vietnamese spirit, compete bravely, win gloriously, and bring glory to the Fatherland. The success of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation at the 33rd SEA Games will be a source of strong encouragement and support for our entire Party, people, and army, contributing to creating momentum, strengthening confidence, and promoting the strength of national solidarity to strive for the highest, competing to achieve achievements to welcome the 14th National Congress of the Party. Each medal is joy, happiness, and pride for the nation, the country, and every Vietnamese person" - the Prime Minister expressed.
