Some football competitions attract many
athletes and spectators in the stadium to join in and encourage.
In current, the city has 20 football clubs
which regularly practice, especially each club consists of 15 to 20 members.
Moreover, some offices, agencies, schools and residential areas establish
soccer teams for physical health training and to gather people who have a
passion for the ball. Most recently, the "Youth Open Football Tournament
in 2018" was organized from 13th to 22nd of April and continued to affirm as a useful playground, attracting a large
number of clubs and spectators who went to cheering. Hence, it continues to
encourage the development of sport in general and football in particular.
Football is also loved and interested by many
government officers in the city. Mr. Xuan Trien Pham, Permanent Deputy
Secretary of Party Committee Group of the provincial authorities, said:
"Because of the passion and interest of officers of provincial authorities in
the city, in March, the Party Committee Group of the provincial authorities
held a football competition for the group of provincial authorities in 2018
including 378 athletes coming from 52 cells and affiliates of party. This is a
sporty activity, healthy and useful cultures in a bid of improving health and
contributing to enrich the cultural and spiritual life of government officers
in the group as well as increasing the solidarity among the authorities”.
However, the football in the city is facing
some challenges and the greatest one is a lack of soccer yard. Apart from
provincial stadium, football lovers can only use artificial turf of private
investors and children take advantage of vacant land, sidewalks and yards of
cultural houses to play soccer.
