HOPEFUL BREAKTHROUGH IN 2025, ATHLETES WILL BE THANKFUL
Yesterday (January 13), Mr. Dang Ha Viet, Director of the Department of Sports and Physical Training, said that up to now, the state budget allocated to the sports industry has been used to pay for regimes such as wages, pocket money, training, competition, and performance-based bonuses, but there is no amount for Tet bonuses. It is expected that this year there will be a decree on Tet bonuses for athletes and coaches.
The Vietnamese team received a big bonus so they will have a full Tet holiday.
This is good news for thousands of Vietnamese athletes and sports coaches because they put in a lot of effort and sweat in training and competing, but not everyone has high achievements and is rewarded to have money to spend during Tet.
A female athlete said that she has been training and competing for more than 10 years but is not in the top of the national medal competition so there is no performance-based bonus, and local wages are also low, so she has to compete in grassroots and open tournaments to earn extra income to cover her living expenses. "Only athletes who are on the state payroll will receive a Tet bonus, but as far as I know, the number of athletes who are on the payroll is very small. Every year, when Tet is near, people ask how much the bonus is, I can only smile. Some of my colleagues have to sell goods online to earn extra income near Tet, and some have to borrow money from friends to send home for their parents to buy Tet. Thinking back, I feel sorry for myself and my colleagues," the female athlete shared.
FROM SOCIALIZED SOURCES
Ho Chi Minh City is the leading unit in activities to care for the lives of athletes and coaches, especially during Tet. Mr. Nguyen Nam Nhan, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports, said that because there are no state regulations on Tet bonuses for athletes, coaches and artists, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports mobilizes sports federations through socialization to care for athletes and coaches in difficult circumstances.
"We will give Tet gifts to about 130 athletes, coaches, and artists in difficult circumstances. The cost of care will be taken from fundraising events, business mobilization... with the hope that athletes, coaches, and artists will have a warm Tet after a hard year. In addition, some sports federations are encouraged to praise and reward athletes and coaches through socialized expenses," said Mr. Nguyen Nam Nhan.
With the bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, weightlifter Le Van Cong received a total bonus of 235 million VND, including 50 million VND in cash from the Vietnam disabled sports delegation, 85 million VND in bonus according to state regulations, and 100 million VND from the Ho Chi Minh City management unit. In addition, Le Van Cong was also awarded separately by a number of businesses and individuals for his efforts to surpass himself, bringing glory to Vietnamese disabled sports in the Paralympic arena.
AFF C UP CHAMPIONS ARE "RICH"
Although there is no Tet bonus, the players of the Vietnamese men's football team still have a warm and prosperous Tet thanks to the "rain of bonuses" after winning the AFF Cup 2024. According to incomplete statistics, the bonus amount of the Vietnamese team has received is more than 40 billion VND. Of which, the Southeast Asian Football Federation awarded 300,000 USD (about 7.6 billion VND), the VFF awarded 7.2 billion VND, the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises awarded 5 billion VND, and the bonus according to state regulations is more than 1 billion VND (26 players, each player received 40 million VND)... Many businesses and businessmen also give big bonuses to the team. Depending on the contribution of each member, the team will have a suitable bonus division level. The bonus level will be classified as A, B, C and the person who receives the lowest bonus in the team (who did not play a single minute at the AFF Cup) can also receive several hundred million VND.
