For them, each event is successfully organized. The local audience can directly watch the home team to compete and win high achievements. All are the goal of those who do not mind difficulties to to bring the top sports to these localities. “Going away from home, having to stay overnight, there is a little bit of anxiety sometimes. But when events are held in localities and are well received by people, we feel happy with what we have tried to do,” said Le Hoai Phuong Nam, Head of the Movement and Competition Organization Department under provincial Sports Training and Competition Center.
