Ivannov Timofei well defended his top place after Lộc Trời Group took the team's time trial event of the HCM City Television Cycling Tournament on April 10.

The Vietnamese team secured second place at SEA V-League 2023, while world-class Thailand took the title.

More than 500 athletes will take part in the annual HCM City Speed Cup 2024 on April 12-14.

Nguyễn Thị Thật is close to the overall victory after winning the second stage of the Tour of Thailand cycling tournament on April 9.

Vietnamese representative Nguyễn Anh Minh placed fourth after the first round of the Taiwan Amateur Golf Championship 2024 on April 9 in Kaohsiung.

Nguyên's result was also new record of the tournament, beating the one of 4:26.54 set by Peter Harry Whittington of Hong Kong last year. 

The event will boast a world-class field, with the top 14 taken from the WNT Rankings, plus two additional wild cards across four days of elite action.

The Sơn Trà Peninsula’s beach and tourism managing board said the swimming event will offer men’s 2km and women’s 1km events for six age groups from 14 to 69.

The team wrapped up their two-day training camp in Hà Nội but had to say goodbye to key defender Phan Tấn Tài who suffered a knee injury and would not recover in time for the tournament later this month.

Việt Nam will take part in the 31st Taiwan Amateur Golf Championship in Kaohsiung from April 9-12.

Despite having no best physique Nguyễn Thị Thật was too strong to win the first stage of the annual Tour of Thailand on April 8.

Petr Rikunov was back to the top position after winning his next stage at the HCM City Television Cycling Tournament on April 8.

Defending champions HCM City will play Sơn La in the opening match of the National Women's Football Championship on May 1 in Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu Province.

The April 9-19 event features eight teams, divided into two groups. Việt Nam are in Group A with the USA, Botswana and the hosts. Group B includes Uganda, China, Wales and Paraguay.

Among 16 competitors, the ones with the most potential are Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Trân, Nguyễn Thị Tuyết Mai and Nguyễn Huyền Trân.

Linh and five teammates arrived in the competition venue on April 7 and will have two days practise prior to their matches.

Việt Nam's top football league has a completely jagged schedule, and although officials moved the league's start to autumn instead of the usual spring to match international football's transfer windows, the practice of rescheduling matchweeks for non-FIFA days tournaments still remain.

The top two from each category will earn a place at the Paris Games. Vietnamese canoeists have never qualified for the Olympics in the past.
