Vo Thanh Son has been elected as the president of the Da Nang City Tennis Federation for the 2026–2031 term, taking the helm of an organization comprising 19 executive committee members drawn largely from regional enterprises. The leadership election took place during the federation’s congress, which convened under a framework of democratic participation, unity, and shared responsibility to outline the sport’s development goals in the coastal Vietnamese city.
Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, vice chairwoman of the Da Nang City People’s Committee, attended the congress to present floral tributes and congratulate the newly established executive committee. The leadership team assumes control at a time when the local tennis community continues to expand.
Federation Priorities and Community Growth
For the 2026–2031 mandate, the Da Nang City Tennis Federation has outlined several core objectives aimed at structuring the sport’s local footprint. Leadership plans to strengthen internal organization, increase overall membership, and broaden the network of affiliated clubs operating throughout the municipality.
Additional initiatives focus on encouraging community-wide participation, organizing high-level competitive tournaments, and establishing pathways to identify, train, and support young athletic talent. To sustain these programs, the federation intends to expand social mobilization efforts by drawing resources from local businesses, organizations, and private individuals, while deepening cooperation with the Vietnam Tennis Federation and other regional administrations across the country.
