Sports industry changes regime to retain and attract talent

Accordingly, the Department of Physical Education and Sports is advising to increase the reward by 10 times for the achievement of winning the Olympic Gold Medal to 3.5 billion VND/medal. If previously, athletes who qualified for the Olympics were not given bonuses and support, the new Draft would recognize this as an important result that requires appropriate mechanisms. The support level to achieve this achievement is 10 million VND/month/person (calculated according to a 4-year cycle). Athletes who win Olympic medals have the opportunity to receive support from the State at the rate of 40 million VND/person/day, while athletes who win the ASIAD Gold Medal will be supported with 20 million VND/person/month (according to a cycle).

According to some experts, the new regime is different to create more excitement for coaches and athletes to trust and trust sports more. Because, if issued and applied, this will be a basic criterion to help each locality build its own policy mechanism for the sports sector.

In the new proposal, a national player will receive a salary of 540,000 VND/person/day and according to the number of days of practice, the monthly salary of a player is about 14 million VND/month (Currently the salary of a national player is 270,000 VND/day, equivalent to more than 7 million VND/month) and the food allowance is 405,000 VND/person/day.

Athletics expert Duong Duc Thuy (former head of the athletics department, General Department of Physical Education and Sports) expressed his opinion: "The regime developed by the sports industry is to apply in practice to improve the lives of coaches and athletes. The new level of food, wages and bonuses is higher than before. I assess that athletes must maintain professionalism in training and competition to ensure their achievements in order to receive the worthy regime".

The Department of Physical Education and Sports has noted the opinions of coaches and athletes who are training at national sports teams on the new policies. This is their right to the brink, so the contribution is the most realistic. The regime is developed and applied to create a synchronous system of policies and regimes for coaches and athletes in Vietnam during the time of focusing on training and competing in a comprehensive direction. This is a legal corridor that ensures for members of the national sports team to train and compete in order to achieve the highest results.

The draft Decree replacing Decree No. 152/2018/ND-CP dated November 7, 2018 focuses on the content of athletes' life after sports. Sports talents when retiring need to ensure their lives and have a clear career orientation. Therefore, the content of the policy is to recruit teachers or to be accepted as civil servants if they meet the conditions for registration...
