Shooting for Ly Son – Sa Huynh Geopark Open Cup

The Management Board of Ly Son – Sa Huynh Geopark is hosting the first open football competition on 10 to 17 June 2019 in Quang Ngai City.

This event is to celebrate the 30^th anniversary of the re-establishment of Quang Ngai Province, to promote the geopark to local and national communities as well as a bid to provide a sports platform for Vietnam Geoparks Network members.

It is reported that all nine districts in the geopark territory and other Vietnam’s geoparks from Ha Giang, Cao Bang and Dakong will be in the event. As football is seen as the most popular type of sport in Vietnam, it is no wonder that several other organizations wish to join the competition, making the total 17 teams.

Apart from football matches, a number of other activities will be scheduled, including communication campaign on the geopark, garbage collection, inspiration for exercise and setting up geopark's potential partnership.

Funds for the event will be sourced from provincial budget and co-contributed by private enterprises.
