In particular, in 2024, they achieved outstanding results with 88 medals, including 49 Gold medals, demonstrating the progress in integration and international reach of the province's sports.

However, in addition to the advantages, there are still certain limitations. According to the report from the Department, some contents in the Project are no longer suitable for the practical situation and need to be reviewed, adjusted and supplemented to meet new requirements.

The implementation of some specific mechanisms and policies still faces many difficulties due to the lack of specific regulations on attraction regimes and remuneration. In addition, there are no detailed instructions on the criteria for selecting beneficiaries of the Project's policies; the association and signing of cooperation agreements with foreign sports training facilities face difficulties due to the lack of mechanisms and the limited foreign language skills of coaches and athletes.

Socialization in the field of sports talent training is still limited; some specific activities do not have clear financial standards.

In the coming time, the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism proposes to amend Project 223 in the direction of expanding the subjects and flexible costs. Directing relevant agencies to facilitate procedures, mechanisms and policies for international cooperation in sports training.

Propose to consider adjusting and expanding the scope of technical staff, training support staff, and foreign experts. Develop software to evaluate results in training and coaching. Issue specific guidelines on selection criteria; Provide technical support for on-site training models in localities./.
