Sports and fitness in Vietnam - statistics & facts
Sports has been a deep-rooted part of Vietnamese culture throughout its history, even under French colonization and during the Vietnam war. Since Vietnam’s reunion in 1975, the government has been promoting sports among the people and building up more stadiums and training facilities to support this movement. While watching and celebrating their favorite teams in organized sports leagues are extremely popular among people of all ages, Vietnamese also have a relatively high frequency of practicing in sports.
