On the morning of September 29, at the 4th session, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council passed a resolution regulating a number of specific policies for sports coaches and athletes in the area.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tho, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, said that the current application of policies with different levels of support and rewards according to the regulations of the three old localities (Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Ba Ria - Vung Tau ) leads to inequality and unfairness.
Therefore, the resolution was issued to unify specific policies for coaches and athletes throughout Ho Chi Minh City after the merger, creating fairness, solidarity, stability and motivation for the entire sports force.
Accordingly, Ho Chi Minh City will provide nutritional support, regular responsibility allowances, class allowances, preferential allowances for talented athletes, pocket money support for training and competing abroad, and encourage participation in sports tournaments.
When merging 3 localities, the number of coaches and athletes enjoying the policy is 4,368 people, of which the national team has 1,730 people, the youth team has 1,741 people and the gifted team has 1,167 people.
According to the plan, the Department of Culture and Sports will select and rearrange the force according to the target of the sports development project until 2035 to 3,560 people, a decrease of 18% compared to the original time of import.
At that time, the team had 288 coaches and 1,039 athletes, the youth team had 207 coaches and 1,165 athletes, the gifted team had 142 coaches and 719 athletes in 51 sports.
With the reorganization of the force, the estimated budget for nutrition is 263 billion VND, a decrease of 79 billion VND compared to the 2025 budget of all 3 regions. For the remaining 7 regimes, 5 regimes will increase and 2 regimes will decrease compared to the 2025 budget.
It is expected that in 2025, 577 billion VND will be spent on the above policies. From 2026, the budget will spend 472 billion VND, including 264 billion VND for nutrition and 208 billion VND for other policies.
