More than 200 amateur athletes, who are Hue-born entrepreneurs from Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, Gia Lai, and Hue, competed in tennis and pickleball events across various categories, including men’s doubles, mixed doubles, and invitational doubles for leaders.

According to Mr. Vo Khac Hoc, Chairman of the Hue Entrepreneurs Club in Ho Chi Minh City, and Deputy Head of the Organizing Committee, the tournament not only provides entrepreneurs with an opportunity to network, build trade connections, and promote physical fitness but also serves as a meaningful occasion to join hands to support their hometown, Hue City. Part of the funds raised from the tournament will go toward funding charity homes and supporting the poor, as well as poor and studious students in 2026.

After more than two months of fundraising, the Organizing Committee collected over 500 million VND, along with numerous in-kind donations. In addition, two paintings will be auctioned during the tournament’s closing ceremony to further contribute to the fund.
