Today (March 7), the leader of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Khanh Hoa province said that Mr. Nguyen Minh Dat, Director of the Sports Technical Training Center and Ms. Hoang Thi Hang Nga, Deputy Director in charge of professional matters of this center, have submitted their resignations.

Currently, the Department has agreed on the resignation of the two people above and is carrying out procedures to submit to competent authorities for consideration and decision.

Khanh Hoa Sports Technical Training Center is a public service unit under the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the province. Mr. Dang Quoc Van, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the province, was assigned to manage and ensure the activities of the center.

Previously, Mr. Dat was disciplined with a warning, and Ms. Nga was disciplined with a reprimand related to this center, including issues of youth football team management.

According to the conclusion of the Inspectorate of the Department of Culture and Sports (now the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Khanh Hoa province), two coaches of the provincial Sports Technical Training Center seized ATM cards, passwords and used money in the cards of many athletes of the provincial youth football team.

The conclusion stated that the two coaches' keeping of the players' ATM cards and then paying them incorrectly caused budget losses, resulting in a large difference between the amount the players were paid and the amount they actually received.

In addition, the coach also gave the players extra working days, while not actually practicing on Saturday.

Regarding this issue, at the end of 2024, the authorities transferred the case to the police for investigation to clarify the matter.

The Inspection Committee of Khanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee has just concluded the inspection of signs of violations with 5 officials, including the former Chairman of Nha Trang City People's Committee related to the Phuoc Dong housing project in Nha Trang City.
