To widely develop the mass sports movement, Thuong Tin district has done a good job leading and directing the movement. The District People’s Committee made many plans to attract the participation of agencies, unions and organizations in the area as well as the active response of all classes of people. Following the direction of the District People’s Committee, the District Center for Culture, Information and Sports has built an operation plan, promoted propaganda, and organized many sports activities between agencies, units, organizations, schools, armed forces, communes, and towns.
Great attention is also paid to the investment in facilities for physical training and sports by Thuong Tin district. The district’s gymnasium can meet people’s daily needs for physical training and sports and organize tournaments. The 2.5-hectare stadium including an artificial turf football field and facilities for athletics, long jump, high jump, etc. is being built. 27 out of 29 communes and towns in the district have stadiums, which are the “meeting places” for many people to practice sports in the morning and afternoon.
Since Thuong Tin district’s facilities meet people’s needs, the mass sports movement of the district is quite exciting, attracting a large number of participants. In the district, there are currently more than 86,700 people who practice sports regularly and 14,720 sports families, with many subjects such as volleyball, table-tennis, football, badminton, walking, etc. 129 sports clubs have been established and effectively maintained in the district.
In order to further improve the quality of mass sports movement, the District Center for Culture, Information and Sports has organized many sports activities between agencies, unions, organizations, schools, armed forces and communes and towns in the district every year. Tournaments, mass sports (such as football, table-tennis, badminton, volleyball) have created healthy and rewarding playgrounds, and atmosphere of excitement and joy among people. The tournaments not only improve sports training movement quality, but also help discover, select, and foster talents for the district’s sports teams participating in city-level competitions. Sports clubs in the area also regularly organize sports tournaments, attracting the participation of a large number of members and people, helping them become more attached to the club and promoting the development of mass sports movement in the district.
