The amount will be used to fund training activities, host tournaments, and help outstanding athletes, Thang said.

More than 200 Vietnamese athletes will compete in 20 of the 40 sports at the ASIAD 2018. They aim to bring home from three to five gold medals in key sports, such as athletics, swimming, weightlifting, shooting and gymnastics.
