It is difficult to make a decision for the DIFF 2025 championship - that is what all the judges of the final night commented and the audience also completely agreed. If China stands out with its methodical, multi-layered and magnificent international orchestra, Vietnam makes a strong impression with its emotional, subtle storytelling and connection to national identity.

China's Jiangxi Yangfeng Fireworks Team has affirmed its strength as a world fireworks powerhouse with the performance "Da Nang: Shining Pearl, Future City", with its versatile lighting effects, perfectly combined with 10 multi-color music pieces.

The team's performance opened with the song "The Final Countdown" combined with a series of symmetrical circular fireworks effects, opening up the feeling of a futuristic gate.

The middle part is a series of effects that move to the beat of “Trying All” and “Legacy of Six” - where swirling fireworks, linear falling fireworks combine with electronic music to create a space like entering the world of technology.

In particular, the Chinese team created a surprise when they incorporated the Vietnamese song "Bac Bling" into the vibrant fireworks display, synchronized with the series of mid- and low-level fireworks running across the water, creating an effect like a dance of light connecting the two cultures.

The finale "Mountain Call" resounded amidst a backdrop of high-altitude fireworks, sparkling with gold and silver combined with continuous glitter fireworks, depicting the image of Da Nang , a shining gem on the map of Asia's future.

And after extremely difficult moments of making a decision, the Organizing Committee announced that the Jiangxi Yangfeng fireworks team from China has officially won the DIFF 2025 Champion title, with a prize worth 20,000 USD. The Z121 Vina Pyrotech fireworks team from Vietnam won the runner-up prize with a prize worth 10,000 USD.

DIFF 2025 also witnessed impressive and creative performances from all teams, with quality that was considered superior to previous years. Therefore, in addition to the Champion and Runner-up awards, the DIFF 2025 Organizing Committee also honored 3 teams with 3 important award categories, each worth 5,000 USD.
