Every year, the district level is granted a budget of 200 - 351.7 million VND/district to organize 3 - 7 district-level tournaments and participate in 4 - 6 provincial-level tournaments. The commune level is from 9 - 35 million VND/commune.

Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Dak Nong province, Le Ngoc Quang, discussed and proposed a number of issues such as difficulties in facilities and low funding for organizing sports competitions.

However, the budget allocated for sports activities is still limited, leading to not many sports activities.

At the same time, amend and supplement regulations on financial expenditures according to Resolution No. 08 to ensure the regime is suitable for practice and consistent with other regulations.
