– Vietnam’sU22 team are set to come up against a number of disadvantages after it wasrevealed they will play their fixtures on artificial turf pitches during the upcomingSEA Games 30 in the Philippines.

This will be the first time in the 60-year history of the event that thefootball tournament won't be played on grass.

The three stadiums selected to hold the men’s football matches,including the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, the University ofMakati Stadium and the Binan Football Stadium, all use artificialturf.

Except for the Philippines and Cambodia, all other teams are currentlypracticing and competing on grass. They will have four months to switch to anartificial surface as the football kicks off.

Vietnam’s head coach Park Hang-seo immediately asked the VietnamFootball Federation (VFF) to switch their plans to allow more timetraining on artificial turf.

VFF General Secretary Le Hoai Anh said both thenational football governing body and the head coach were surprised but wouldsoon adjust the training schedule.

“It is shock news that forces us to overthrowour plans. We will send a representative to the Philippines to check thefields. It is not familiar to us but it must reach standards for competitions.We and other teams have to accept this decision,” said Anh.

He added that players would arrive in thePhilippines days earlier than originally planned to train on turf.

The hosts also rejected a proposal to allowteams having 23 players to compete at the SEA Games.

The organisers confirmed that each squad wouldhave total 20 players in which two can be over-22.

A total of 11 teams, divided into two groups, will compete in the men’sfootball during SEA Games 30. The qualifying rounds will begin on November 25and conclude on December 5.  Meanwhile, thesemifinals are scheduled to take place on December 7 with the goldand bronze medal matches slated for December 10.

In the women’s football, eightteams will also be divided into two groups. The qualifying rounds will takeplace between November 28 and December 4. The semifinals are due to take placeon December 6 while the gold and bronze medal matches will be held onDecember 9.

A highlight of Kids Fest 2026 is an interactive experience zone inspired by a Rubik's Cube, with six colourful sections representing creativity, arts, sports, knowledge, the environment, and family and global integration.

The festival is part of Hanoi's strategy to boost its cultural industries by transforming cultural heritage into a driver of socio-economic development while preserving and promoting the city's traditional cultural values.

The showcased works present diverse perspectives on a peaceful, stable and dynamic Vietnam where human rights are respected, protected and promoted.

Digital technology is showcasing the World Cultural Heritage site of My Son Sanctuary, enabling visitors to experience its historical and cultural significance while supporting long-term conservation. The site's authenticity is being preserved through scientific restoration and digital transformation, enhancing the visitor experience, and promoting sustainable tourism.

The festival, running from April to December, features a wide range of commemorative, cultural, artistic, sporting, tourism, investment networking, trade promotion and community activities carrying messages of peace, friendship and development.

“Vive la Paix” (Long Live Peace) painting was created by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso in 1954 following the signing of the Geneva Accords and was published on the front page of the French newspaper L’Humanité. While Picasso’s famous peace dove appears prominently in the painting, he also added images of people wearing Vietnamese conical hats alongside landscapes reminiscent of Vietnam.

Artistic director and international classical solo musician Hang Nguyen from the Da Nang-based Mun Art Academy said the competition will open at the Muong Thanh Luxury hotel, with a gala concert From Heritage to Harmony, a Journey across Cultures starting at 7.30pm on June 26.

Vietnamese Consul General Nguyen Viet Kien stressed that cultural exchange activities serve as a powerful bridge connecting people and strengthening bonds among different communities in Artyom.

The celebrations will feature five high-altitude fireworks sites combined with low-altitude displays, together with low-altitude fireworks at 11 additional locations to serve residents and visitors across the city.

At the centre of the scene, more than 1,000 traditional conical hats were arranged to form a giant teapot and a tea blossom – familiar symbols of Vietnam’s tea culture.

The additional seating in Grandstand A4 will be put into operation ahead of schedule to meet growing demand from both local residents and tourists eager to enjoy one of Vietnam’s most anticipated summer events.

At a press conference held in Hanoi on the afternoon of June 22, organisers said the competition is expected to welcome approximately 15,000 participants competing across the four distances of 42km, 21km, 9.2km and 2.9km.

Over the past decade, Trang An has become a successful example of development that regards culture as both a driving force and an objective while placing people at the centre of all development efforts.

Nguyen Thi Dieu Ly defeated Kama Tsubasa of Japan 5–1 to take the title in the women's 68kg class, helping Vietnam complete its target at the continental tournament.

The main festival activities will take place from July 17-19 in Nha Trang, while related events will be held across the province from July 10 to August 10.

More than an annual sporting event, this year’s tournament has become a symbol of the resilience, solidarity and growing strength of the Vietnamese community in Russia.

Quartet Ta Ngoc Tuong, Vu Ngoc Khanh, Tran Dinh Son and Le Ngoc Phuc stunned onlookers with their win in the men's 4x400m event.

The festival aims to showcase the cultural and tourism values of Thang Long – Hanoi, honour the beauty and significance of the lotus in Vietnamese life, and promote lotus-based products as part of efforts to boost the capital’s cultural and tourism industries.

Vietnam’s cultural industries currently comprise around 70,000 active enterprises, generating employment for more than 3 million workers and contributing an estimated 2.5–3% of GDP. Several localities have also developed creative ecosystems, innovation hubs, and effective cultural economy models.

Among the province’s success stories is Ta Phin commune, one of Lao Cai’s earliest community-based tourism destinations and a locality renowned for its diverse traditional occupations that provide stable and sustainable livelihoods for ethnic minority communities.
