"Generous" spending on bonuses for athletes and coaches in international competitions

On December 5, the 21st session of the 16th Hai Phong City People's Council, term 2021-2026, passed a Resolution regulating the bonus level for athletes and sports coaches of Hai Phong City who achieve achievements at international sports competitions (replacing Resolution No. 04 dated July 22, 2020 of the City People's Council).

With the increase in the bonus level at the Sports Festival higher than Decree 152 in 2018, Hai Phong has become one of the localities with the highest one-time bonus level for athletes and coaches achieving achievements at international tournaments in the country.

Accordingly, the Olympic Games (held every 4 years): Gold medal is 450 million VND, Silver medal is 300 million VND, Bronze medal is 200 million VND; Asian Games (every 4 years): Gold medal is 180 million VND, Silver medal is 110 million VND, Bronze medal is 70 million VND; Southeast Asian Games (every 2 years): Gold medal is 100 million VND, Silver medal is 70 million VND, Bronze medal is 55 million VND.

According to the leader of the Department of Culture and Sports of Hai Phong City, the new Resolution replacing Resolution 04 of 2020 that has just been passed has shown the interest, encouragement and motivation of the People's Council, the City Party Committee at all levels of Hai Phong City towards athletes and sports coaches. In addition, this is also one of the factors to attract and create motivation for athletes and coaches to continue to stick with and contribute long-term to Hai Phong City sports in particular and Vietnamese sports in general.
