According to Director of the district’s Culture
and Information Department Bui Minh Hong, after being selected as a model for all-level
sport festivals in the province, at the end of 2016, the district People’s
Committee set up a sport festival organising board and built a plan for all-level
sport festivals of Tan Lac district in 2017.
Tan Lac district also plans to send athletes to
attend the provincial-level sport festival in 2018, Hong said.
Tan Lac set the goal of organising sport festivals in all the communes in the
district, and earning a place in the top groups at the 6th provincial
sport festival in 2018.
Commune-level sport festivals were held from March
19-May 26. Thus, at the end of May, Tan Lac district completed communal and
town-level sport festivals on schedule.

Committee of Muong Khen Town said "We have clearly assigned responsibilities to
each member of the Steering Committee, each village and hamlet, while making
efforts to disseminating relevant information to local officials, Party members
and locals. Therefore, the festival attracted crowds of local residents who
came to cheer on the competitors. The sport event really became a big festival
for local residents.”
After the success of the pilot sport festival in Muong Khen, the Tan Lac
district directed communes’ authorities to make thorough preparation for their
own sport festivals. Apart from communication activities to raise public
awareness of the role and importance of improving health and physical strength,
communes in the district have paid attention to infrastructure facilities
serving sport festivals, including repairing football grounds, purchasing
uniforms and sport equipment, thus facilitating sport training and practice of local
residents.
Thanks to good preparations in terms of organisation, referees and infrastructure,
sport festivals in communes and towns in Tan Lac district were successfully
organised, becoming an event to demonstrate the power of the community,
attracting crowds of local people.
On average, each festival saw the participation
of between 600 and 1,500 people who performed parades and mass-performances,
and featured between 5-7 sports, mainly football, volleyball, marathon, tug of
war, crossbow shooting and stick
pushing.
The district-level sport festival in Tan Lac will
have 11 sports, namely volleyball for men and women, men’s seven-player
football, swimming, badminton, marathon, chess, Chinese chess, athletics, tug
of war, crossbow shooting and stick
pushing. Since the beginning of this year, the sport festival
organising board of Tan Lac district has directed sport and culture offices and
centres to plan for the organisation of several sport competitions at the
district-level sport festival, including volleyball, badminton, swimming and
athletics. At present, the district is preparing infrastructure and equipment
for the district-level sport festival, which is scheduled for mid-September.
