From a large-scale opening ceremony rich in cultural identity to 18 sporting events featuring participants from 40 communes and wards, as well as various organizations and forces, the 10th Hue City Sports Festival 2026 demonstrated the growing reach of the sports movement across the former imperial capital. The event also gives Hue's athletes fresh momentum as they aim for further success at the National Sports Festival this November.

As the first sporting event for women at the commune and ward level, besides the tournament not only brings exciting and intense football matches but also serves as evidence of the effectiveness of social mobilization in physical education and sports, as well as the promotion of great national unity.

On the morning of October 28th, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a send-off ceremony for Hue's Sports Delegation ahead of the 10th National Sports Games 2026. With strong determination and a commitment to fair play, the delegation aims to win 6 - 8 gold medals at this year's event.

The 10th Hue City Sports Festival 2026 officially opened as the traditional torch lit at Ho Chi Minh Museum, then arrived at the sports arena in the City’s Cultural and Sports Square. Beyond celebrating the strength of the sports movement, the event also reflects Hue’s aspirations to develop sports in a way that preserves its identity and reinforces its new standing in a new era.

On October 14 in Hanoi, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and Hue City People’s Committee signed an Action plan for cooperation on the development of culture, sports, and tourism through 2030. Hue City is the first locality to sign such a cooperation plan, aiming to tap into the potential and advantages of the city as a heritage city, a Festival City, and a distinctive cultural center of Vietnam.
