Table tennis is one out of five key sports of Khanh Hoa. However, Khanh Hoa’s table tennis is still in the progress of building force from young players. Therefore, this year’s national table tennis tournament for strong teams in Nha Trang is considered a good opportunity for the provincial team to maintain their position as a strong table tennis team in Vietnam as well as to create an opportunity for their young players to accumulate competition experience at a nation-level tournament.
