Innovating mechanisms, promoting autonomy in national sports federations

HOÀI VIỆT |

Vietnamese sports are looking forward to the 33rd SEA Games, 20th ASIAD and the 2028 Olympics. Along with the efforts of State management agencies, improving the operational efficiency of Federations and National Sports Associations is an urgent requirement for professional development and sustainable achievements.

It is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of social sports organizations

The Department of Physical Education and Sports of Vietnam is taking the lead in developing a Circular amending and supplementing Circular 01/2021/TT-BVHTTDL dated February 3, 2021 of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism stipulating a number of measures to perform the function of State management of sports activities of national sports associations. According to the plan, the documents are expected to be completed in November. This is an important Circular of direct significance to professional social organizations in sports (Sports Federations, Associations).

Through the assessment of units that are advising on the content of the development of a Circular amending and supplementing Circular 01/2021/TT-BVHTTDL, in the 4 years of implementing Circular 01/2021/TT-BVHTTD, the manager acknowledged that the Circular has created a clearer legal corridor for State management of physical education and sports for national sports associations.

At the same time, the Circular helps improve the effectiveness of State management and enhance transparency, autonomy, responsibility and efficiency in the activities of national sports associations. The assessment shows that many National Sports Federations and Associations have promoted their role as social and professional organizations according to their principles and purposes.

However, in reality, problems still occur. For example, the coordination of activities such as building and organizing a system of professional legal documents or training work, establishing national teams or organizing sports tournaments, professional sports management activities... encountered some difficulties. Therefore, assessing the effectiveness of the activities of the National Sports Federations and Associations is necessary and needs to be supplemented and adjusted.

Vietnam Sports has 44 Federations and National Associations of Sports that have been established and are operating. Every year, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism conducts a meeting between industry leaders with Federations and National Sports Associations to specifically assess the activities or remove existing obstacles. Through research, the Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports has had survey data and assessments of more than 40 Federations and National Sports Associations when implementing Circular 01/2021/TT-BVHTTDL.

An extension of the sports industry

According to regulations, based on the annual work plan of the Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports, the National Sports Association (Federation, Association of Sports) has the right to propose the members of the National Sports Team Coaching Committee and the list of athletes selected by the National Sports Team Coaching Committee to send to the Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports for consideration and decision to establish a national sports team for training.

During the professional preparation process for the 33rd SEA Games, coordination between the Department of Physical Education and Sports and the National Sports Federations and Associations is being carried out. Many sports such as football, volleyball, golf, tennis, badminton, basketball, tennis, taekwondo, judo, athletics, swimming, rowing... maintain parallel coordination to ensure expertise, reduce the burden on the sports industry in management, and develop professional plans. However, each side still must find a common voice towards the set achievement task.

In addition to the national team work, the National Sports Federations and Associations are organizations that organize high-class football matches for athletes and referees of sports according to the standard that has been issued by the Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports on the advice of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in accordance with regulations.

The National Sports Federation and Association will recognize the status of international sports organizations for Vietnamese athletes and referees. After the competition program, the promotion is necessary. Sports is a special field. The level of athletes and coaches will directly affect the benefits of salary, bonus, and nutrition they enjoy when working or training on the national sports team or at local units.
