Vietnam sports forge strong June comeback

On June 1, National Futsal Championship 2020 kicked off, along with the U19 national women’s football tournament. Four days later, the top football division in Vietnam, V. League 1, also returned with its third fixture, as well as lower division, V. League 2. On the same day, national tournaments in Muay Thai and chess also recommenced.

On June 7, the HTV cycling cup concluded with Spanish Javier Sardá Perez winning the title.
