According to Mr. Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Department of Culture and Sports, Hue is striving alongside the rest of the country in a new era of development - not just being as a heritage city, but also aiming to become a “liveable city” with a healthy, dynamic, and innovative community.
Hue Sports Festival serves as a foundation for forming a sports ecosystem linked to the economy: from professional and semi-professional tournaments, and “made in Hue” sports products to widely developed and connected sports startup models, as well as becoming a destination for hosting national, regional, and international sports events - contributing to promoting the image, people, and identity of Hue to global friends.
On this occasion, the Nu Cuoi Viet (Vietnamese Smiles) Dental System awarded “Go to School 2025” scholarships valued at 300 million VND to students from highland schools; Hue Textile and Garment Joint Stock Company presented 500 sports shirts to the Organizing Committee.
