Speaking at the press conference, Ms. Ly Viet Trung - Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Women's Newspaper stated that the Pickleball tournament is not only a sporting event, but also an important step in encouraging and developing women's sports in Vietnam.

It is known that at the tournament, the organizers will take a part of the competition budget to support the Para Pickleball Club of the city's disabled sports.
