No one has explained why volleyball is of top interest in Ninh Binh, but the top volleyball tournament held here is... deserted. Exactly 2 months ago, Ninh Binh Provincial Gymnasium was the venue for the second phase of the 2025 SEA V.League. At that time, fans eagerly came to cheer on the female player competing on the field.
The lack of spectators is also a situation that has just occurred at the 2025 National Swimming Championship held at My Dinh Water Sports Palace (Hanoi). Under the swimming pool, all the top Vietnamese swimming pool players competed enthusiastically and fiercely. In the stands, the cheers only came from the coaches, athletes and acquaintances of the fishermen.
Sports fans are almost absent. No one has explained why the stands of national swimming competitions in Vietnam have not really attracted fans. Although in reality, swimming is an Olympic sport that Vietnamese sports have focused on investing in and achieving many achievements in recent times.
Some reasons say that the audience has the right to choose to go to the stadium or stadium to cheer. However, modern sports are starting to need more than just communication. Therefore, communication factors, image and promotion of sports tournaments are very necessary. By doing a good job of communication, fans will know more about the tournament as well as actively go to the venue to cheer on the athletes. Volleyball (a sport with social appeal) and swimming (a basic Olympic sport) still need to develop and have an audience.
