On June 30, the organizing committee of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival - DIFF 2024 officially announced the two fireworks teams entering the finals.

The first time two teams competed in the same night and reached the final

The Finnish team and the Chinese team became the two best teams competing in the final round of DIFF 2024 taking place on July 13.

This result is based on a strict set of scoring criteria including: originality, design ideas and adaptation to the performance theme; diversity, richness of effects and intensity of colors; synchronization between music and performance; ending and overall impression of the performance; emotions and evaluation of the judges.

For the first time at the Da Nang International Fireworks Competition, two teams competing in the same qualifying round entered the final round.

Previously on the evening of June 29, these two opponents also had a classy confrontation in the sky above the Han River.

Both performances of these two fireworks superpowers were soon rated by the audience as "early finals".
