The dream final of the Vietnam team
“I bet my professional life to be determined to win the ASEAN Cup 2024 with the Vietnamese team,” said head coach Kim Sang Sik after we beat Singapore 5-1 in the two semi-finals. After the first leg final match in Viet Tri on the evening of January 2, the Vietnamese team will have the second leg match at Rajamangala Stadium on the evening of January 5.
Never before have sports managers and fans paid so much attention to the achievements of the Vietnam National Football Team as they do now.
In 2024, Vietnamese sports did not succeed in competing in the 2024 Paris (France) Olympics. However, with the 2024 ASEAN Cup tournament, regardless of fans and managers, all want the Vietnamese team to win. The results will reflect the expectations and also the efforts of Vietnamese sports in the professional year.
National sports need excellent factors
The Department of Physical Training and Sports has voted for the 10 outstanding national athletes of 2024. The person topping the list is shooter Trinh Thu Vinh (shooting).
According to the announcement of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Department of Physical Training and Sports, 10 players are on the list of outstanding national athletes in the sports of shooting, billiards, volleyball, canoeing, rowing, badminton, cycling, boxing, athletics, and archery.
Unfortunately, among the 10 faces, football players were absent. Even though, the Vietnam National Team has excellent players to help us reach the final of the ASEAN Cup 2024.
“This is a meaningful election. The election of outstanding national coaches and athletes has a long tradition and is respected by many generations of coaches and athletes, always waiting to be on the list of honors” - Deputy Director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Le Thi Hoang Yen shared. The election of outstanding national coaches and athletes began in 1978.
Sports need events
In 2024, Vietnamese sports will participate in two notable arenas including the 2024 Paris Olympics (France) and the 2024 ASEAN Cup. At the 2024 Paris Olympics (France), we did not win any medals. With the 2024 ASEAN Cup, football players played at their best but they lost their chance to be on the voting list because the organizing committee announced the results.
Many opinions have been raised that the election of the 2024 national outstanding coaches and athletes has fallen into a situation of "comparing chopsticks to choose a flagpole". We have some results mentioned (in addition to competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics (France) such as the Vietnamese football team entering the finals of the 2024 ASEAN Cup or the women's volleyball team winning the Bronze Medal at the 2024 FIVB Challenge Cup, the women's football team winning the Gold Medal at the Southeast Asian Championship, the swimming team, the weightlifting team, the billiards players winning world results...
Managers need to choose the right time to vote so that athletes do not miss their chance.
The Department of Physical Training and Sports affirmed that the election of outstanding national coaches and athletes is a traditional election, so the decision to elect 10 outstanding national athletes and 5 outstanding national coaches, along with 5 outstanding disabled athletes and 3 outstanding disabled coaches will not be changed.
