General Secretary of the Kickboxing Federation of Vietnam (KFC) Duong Ngoc Hai said that the tournament was a great opportunity for Vietnamese players to compete in the largest continental arena, so they can learn, accumulate competition experiences, and prepare for upcoming international tournaments, particularly the World Games.

He said that at the tournament, many Vietnamese players performed well, such as Huynh Van Tuan, Le Thi Nhi, and Nguyen Thi Ngoc Ngan.
