• PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION STATUS

The National Sports Training Center project in Da Lat is planned in Ward 7, Da Lat City, with a total land area of ​​10.29 hectares, divided into three main areas: B1, B2 and B3. The detailed 1/500 planning of the land was approved by Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee on April 16, 2015.

Delegation of officials from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism attended the working session.

Of which, Area B1 has an area of ​​3.07 hectares, designed to build housing for coaches, experts and athletes, along with support facilities. Area B2 (3.77 hectares) and Area B3 (3.45 hectares) are in the medium-term implementation phase (2021 - 2025), with a total investment of VND 286 billion. To date, the project has disbursed VND 129,148 billion.

The main construction of Area B2 - 2,000-seat multi-purpose training facility has started since October 25, 2023 and is entering the completion stage, reaching 60% of the contract volume. However, the technical infrastructure items have not been able to be constructed due to site clearance problems. Area B2 is expected to be completed and handed over in October 2025.

• SOME PROBLEMS IN PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

One of the major obstacles of the project is related to the land area in Zone B2, which was previously approved by the Provincial People's Committee to plant pine trees according to forest standards in 2014. On January 9, 2025, Lam Dong Province issued Decision No. 38/QD-UBND on converting the purpose of forest use to serve the project. Currently, the Project Management Board is submitting a plan to exploit common forest plants to the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Lam Dong Province for approval.

Representatives of the Lam Dong Province Civil and Industrial Construction Investment Project Management Board reported on a number of issues and proposed solutions.

At the meeting, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism requested the provincial agencies and departments to promptly consider this plan, creating conditions for the site to be handed over to the contractor, ensuring construction progress. The Ministry also proposed to keep the planning of area B1 intact to carry out investment in the medium term 2026 - 2030. For some items, the Ministry aims to complete the project to organize the inauguration ceremony on September 2, 2025.
