In the 35-rider cycling race, Ca Thanh Dong crossed the finish line first. Eight of the festival's 26 events have now been completed.
Vinh Long's first regional sports festival opened on 19 September 2026 and has run for more than 10 days. Early competitions have included three-cushion billiards, bocce and aerobics involving young athletes.
Lao Dong reported that Vinh Long's trade union sent a delegation of athletes, workers, civil servants and employees to the first provincial sports games. The union's account lists seven sports in the programme.
Three-cushion billiards is the festival's clearest link to cue sports. No result or further detail from that competition has been reported. Separately, Vietnam.vn reported that Bao Phuong Vinh reached the final of the world three-cushion billiards championship in Blois, France, and became runner-up. That international result is not from the Vinh Long festival.
The reported results offer a snapshot of community competition in Vinh Long. They are not a development in UAE sport or a substantial cue-sports story for UAE readers.
Later in September, Vinh Long hosted another major sporting event. Nhan Dan reported that the national championship for strong table-tennis teams opened in the province for a run from 25 to 30 September 2026.
Lao Dong reported that more than 2.7 billion dong was allocated for gifts covering 14,000 cases, while more than 1.738 billion dong went to Mid-Autumn Festival activities. The figures reflect other social and community initiatives reported by the provincial trade-union organization, not the sports festival budget.
Vinh Long's cultural and sporting calendar continues beyond September. Tien Phong reported that the province's 2026 culture, sports and tourism week was scheduled for 18-24 November.
