Ms. Ly Viet Trung, Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Women's Newspaper, said: "This is a tournament with special meaning, because we believe that pickleball is a sport that connects families. This story of connection was clearly demonstrated at the first tournament last year. Many couples shared that since playing pickleball together, their family relationships have become closer. Instead of each person in a corner with their phone, they have dinner together, sharing about matches and new friends. Thanks to that, the family atmosphere has become warmer and more connected."
The 2025 Ho Chi Minh City Women's Newspaper Pickleball Tournament has 9 competition categories.
