The company set up and invested in the tennis and volleyball teams, which both always lead at the National Championships.

The Vietnam Tennis Federation held a ceremony on December 4 to see off the team as they head to Vientiane, Laos for the Games.

On the occasion, the company offered gifts for members of Tanimex’s tennis and volleyball teams.

Binh Duong Province Tennis Federation’s General Secretary Nguyen Ngoc Minh awarded each player US$200.

Vietnam’s tennis team includes nine players: Do Minh Quan, Le Quoc Khanh, Bui Tri Nguyen, Nguyen Thanh Trung, Huynh Chi Khuong, Huynh Mai Huynh, Nguyen Thuy Dung, Tran Lam Anh, Huynh Phuong Dai Trang and coach Tran Trong Anh Tu.

While this year’s team is ranked somewhat lower than other Southeast Asian countries, its goal is to secure two bronze medals in men’s doubles, an event they won last year.
