Last year, the Vietnamese iron ball team won a gold medal at the 2024 Asian Championship in the women's doubles event.
The iron ball has not been announced by the 33rd SEA Games Organizing Committee and will be officially competed in.

If the iron ball event takes place at the 33rd SEA Games, Vietnamese sports will participate.
