300 athletes from 20 delegations representing the 11 local districts, city,
schools, and police forces as well as Son La, Dien Bien, Yen Bai, Lai Chau, and

The event was an occasion for racers and coaches in the
northwestern region to practice and gain experience for the upcoming regional
culture, sports and tourism festival, which is slated for August 18 – 20 in Son
La. The race also helped promote the Hoa Binh culture and tourist destinations
to domestic and international visitors.
According to the organising board, the competition received

preparation helped ensure safety during the race, which was considered to have
better quality than its previous editions. Participating teams actively competed
for 16 sets of medals in half a day, making the cup a success.
Hoa Binh Football Club (Hoa Binh FC) has just organized a special friendly match, combined with a tour and cultural exploration in Mai Chau district. This activity aims to strengthen solidarity and exchange between the players and the community, and at the same time, it introduces the cultural beauty of Hoa Binh province.
Volleyball is a popular, easy-to-play, and easy-to-practice sport that not only helps improve health and spiritual life, and tighten solidarity in the community but also practically promotes the campaign "All people exercise their bodies following the great example of Uncle Ho”. In recent years, the movement of volleyball practice has strongly developed, spreading widely to the communes and the towns in the province.
