The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) and the Vietnam National Football Team have donated a total of VND400 million. Of which, VND200 million from the VFF and VND200 million from the Vietnam National Football Team will be transferred to severely affected localities through the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front.
To express their deep sympathy and understanding with the people and unfortunate victims, the Vietnamese and Thai teams observed a minute of silence before the friendly match at My Dinh Stadium on the evening of September 10.
Many sports players, through their practical actions, have been joining hands to share information and contribute resources to help people in many northern provinces that are currently flooded.
Tennis player Nguyen Thuy Linh, although competing in Ho Chi Minh City, still actively announced on her personal Facebook page about the donation called by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front to support people in difficulty in areas affected by storms, floods and natural disasters.
Player Doan Thi Lam Oanh of the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team shared information through which many people joined hands to support compatriots in difficulty, especially those in areas severely flooded. Archer Do Thi Anh Nguyet said that she was practicing to prepare for the competition but focused on following information on the media about the storm and flood situation and also donated to support the call from the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front.
On her personal Facebook page, athlete Nguyen Thi Oanh called on everyone to join hands to help people facing difficulties due to the current natural disasters and floods.
She wrote: “It is heartbreaking to see our people struggling to cope with storms, floods and natural disasters. I just hope that the natural disasters will pass quickly, that everyone will receive timely relief, and that the consequences of storms and floods that come to every household will be minimized. I pray that everyone and every household will be safe. And I would also like to attach the address to receive support so that everyone can join hands in the spirit of mutual love...”.
Currently in her hometown of Lao Cai, weightlifting coach Hoang Thi Duyen said that she and the athletes and coaches of the Lao Cai Sports Training and Competition Center are on duty at the moment to be ready to support each other in any situation if the floodwaters rise.
Two badminton players Do Tuan Duc and Pham Nhu Thao of Vietnam said that, in response to the call for support for people in areas affected by natural disasters, their Duc Thao Badminton Center has contributed a small amount of 10 million VND to the account of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front to join hands with society to help people in the northern provinces affected by natural disasters and floods.
At this time, the Department of Physical Education and Sports is organizing the National U23 Youth Volleyball Championship in Bac Kan and the 2024 National Taekwondo Club Championship in Lao Cai. These two localities are significantly affected by floods, with many areas inundated. However, the National U23 Youth Volleyball Championship is held in the center of Bac Kan city, so it has not been affected and is still taking place. The Taekwondo Department (Department of Physical Education and Sports) said that it is continuously updating the flood situation in Lao Cai to have a plan for the 2024 National Taekwondo Club Championship.
