Việt Nam was number one at the regional Games with 136 golds, leaving all other rivals far behind. However, months later, at the continental event, the country struggled and only finished with three titles putting Việt Nam in sixth position in Southeast Asia. In other, recent Asian Games and Olympics, Việt Nam struggled. Accordingly, Việt Nam must be in the top three in all SEA Games editions. Athletes will intensively prepare to qualify and attend the Olympics in 2028, Asian Games in 2030 and SEA Games in 2027 and 2029.
