Tomorrow (October 24), Director of the Department of Sports and Physical Training Dang Ha Viet will chair a meeting between relevant parties in the incident that occurred at the Vietnam youth table tennis team.
Regarding the information that young athletes were not provided with nutritious meals when practicing and living at the My Dinh National Sports Complex (this youth team is managed by the Hanoi National Sports Training Center) despite having a nutritional standard of 320,000 VND/day according to the regulations of the Ministry of Finance, the Department of Sports and Physical Training has requested relevant parties to explain, including leaders and managers of table tennis, representatives of the Hanoi National Sports Training Center, and the My Dinh National Sports Complex to report the incident and explain details that caused public outrage such as meals lacking in nutrients and dishes.

However, the parties involved have not been able to provide sufficient explanations and arguments to convince the leaders of the Department of Sports and Physical Training. Therefore, to clarify the matter, Director Dang Ha Viet will convene a meeting between responsible individuals and organizations to direct a solution, in order to ensure the rights of the athletes.
The meeting, chaired by Director of the Department of Sports and Physical Training Dang Ha Viet, is expected to include leaders of the Hanoi National Sports Training Center (the unit directly managing the youth table tennis team), the Vietnam Table Tennis Federation, and leaders of the National Sports Complex (in charge of meals for young athletes).
The meeting between the parties is the basis for the Department of Sports and Physical Training to verify information, clarify the responsibilities of each party, and at the same time propose solutions to handle the above incident.
Regarding the incident of the Vietnamese youth table tennis team complaining of hunger, the Department of Sports and Physical Training has decided to stop calling up head coach Bui Xuan Ha and assistant To Minh. Mr. Phan Anh Tuan, in charge of table tennis at the Department of Sports and Physical Training, has also submitted his resignation.
After the press reported the incident, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism requested a review of the training plans of the youth teams, increased responsibility of relevant departments, and absolutely not let an incident like the one that happened to the Vietnamese youth table tennis team happen again.
"The issue of salaries and meals for athletes and national sports training centers have all been checked. However, due to the inadequate facilities at the National Sports Training Center in Hanoi, many teams have to practice outside. This is the loophole that led to the unfortunate incident at the national youth table tennis team. We consider this a big lesson and will conduct a thorough review in the coming time. This is truly a warning for managers and coaches who do not pay attention to athletes, only care about personal interests and ignore other issues, including the lives and activities of athletes," said Dang Ha Viet, Director of the Department of Sports and Physical Training.
