Former table tennis player Vu Manh Cuong speaks out
In the picture of Vietnam's sports development, socialization has always been identified as an inevitable direction to mobilize diverse resources from society, in addition to investment from the state budget. One of the most recent typical evidences of the effectiveness of this model is the combination between the Police Sports Association and the Hanoi T&T Table Tennis Club to form the Police-T&T Table Tennis Club in June 2024.
This groundbreaking combination not only opens a new chapter for Vietnamese table tennis, but also contributes to bringing professional sports management thinking and systematic investment closer to the sports forces of ministries and branches. This is an effective combination model between a formal, highly disciplined organization like the People's Public Security, and a corporate sports unit with a tradition of top-notch training like Hanoi T&T.

The latest achievement from the young duo Tuan Anh - Duc Viet with the gold medal in the U.15 men's doubles at the 2025 Southeast Asian Youth Championship recently held in Jakarta, Indonesia is a direct result of the thorough investment process after the establishment of the CAND-T&T Table Tennis Club. In particular, Tuan Anh, an athlete who grew up in the People's Public Security Force, has made a breakthrough since joining the T&T training system.
Under the guidance of experienced coaches, especially coach - former famous player Vu Manh Cuong, Tuan Anh was trained in a professional environment, with ideal training conditions with the country's top athletes.

"In June 2024, when the T&T Table Tennis Club merged with the CAND Table Tennis Club, Tuan Anh himself at that time also had a great passion for table tennis. After joining the CAND-T&T Table Tennis Club, although he had not practiced much before, Tuan Anh made a great effort.
At the new club, Tuan Anh was trained by the coaches of the T&T Table Tennis Club, as well as had the opportunity to practice with top athletes such as Anh Hoang, Dinh Duc, Mai Ngoc... Athlete Tuan Anh has shown his professional potential, on a good physical foundation. During the training process, Tuan Anh has made remarkable progress and the gold medal in the men's doubles U.15 Southeast Asia 2025 is a great achievement," coach Vu Manh Cuong shared.
Sweet fruit!
The cooperation between the People's Public Security Sports Association and the Hanoi T&T Table Tennis Club has also been effective in terms of management, training, facilities and long-term development orientation. Previous weaknesses in management and training at the People's Public Security Table Tennis Team have been gradually improved thanks to the strict and scientific process from T&T Group . Facilities such as practice floors, lighting systems, and training equipment have been significantly upgraded. This is an important condition to help young athletes develop comprehensively in terms of physical strength, technique and competition mentality.
"This combined model not only helps an individual like Tuan Anh break through, but also opens up the future for many other young talents. In the future, T&T Group also plans to send potential athletes to train in Japan - a country with the world's leading table tennis - so that they can approach the highest level, aiming for continental and international arenas," Coach Vu Manh Cuong shared.
From a broader perspective, the cooperation between the CAND Sports Association and T&T Group has shown that when the state and businesses work closely together, the socialization of sports is not only feasible but also extremely effective. This is an exemplary model for other sectors and localities to learn from in order to mobilize social resources for sports development, instead of relying entirely on the state budget.
