Nguyen Trong Quoc is a well-known athlete in the beach volleyball tournaments in Vietnam. He has won a lot of medals in both domestic and international tournaments, such as two gold medals in the 2014 and 2018 national sports festivals, bronze medal in SEA Games 2009, and fifth place in the Asian Beach Volleyball Championships held in Thailand in 2013. These achievements helped him to be chosen by Vietnam Beach Volleyball Federation to take charge of the national beach volleyball team in the upcoming SEA Games in Philippines. “This is a great honor as well as a big responsibility,” Quoc said.

Additionally, he has also been training young players of Sanna Sanest Khanh Hoa. He has well fulfilled his roles and responsibilities.
Eight athletes of Khanh Hoa selected for the national team this time are the players of Sanna Sanest Khanh Hoa. Most of them are young players; however, they have proved their competence and potentialities through the national tournaments. Some of the most outstanding names are Nguyen Thi Thanh Tram, Nguyen Le Tuong Vy, Vu Ngoc Lan Nguyen (female athletes), Nguyen Van Nha, Tran Quang Vu, and Ton Long Nhat (male athletes). Besides Khanh Hoa, Ho Chi Minh City, Kien Giang Province, and Soc Trang Province are the localities having athletes joining the national team this time.
The Vietnam’s national beach volleyball is training in Can Tho City. The training course takes place in more than two months. Reportedly, Vietnam does not set a high target in SEA Games 30; however, the team is trying to build up a strong team for SEA Game 31, which will be organized in Vietnam.
