Vietnam Football Federation in association with Radio the Voice of Vietnam organizes HDBank National Futsal Cup 2020 in Dak Lak Province from November 15 to 26 with the participation of ten strong futsal clubs over the country. Sanvinest Sanna Khanh Hoa and Sanvinest Sanatech Khanh Hoa are the two representatives of Khanh Hoa Province in this tournament.
 
This year’s edition continues to be funded by diamond sponsor HDBank and some other enterprises. This is the first time HDBank National Futsal Cup has been organized in Dak Lak Province, which aims to promote the development of futsal across the country. Although Dak Lak doesn’t have good futsal movement in comparison with Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang City, and Khanh Hoa Province, Dak Lak’s Department of Culture and Sports is believed to successfully organize the 2020 HDBank National Futsal Cup thanks to its experience of hosting many large-scale domestic and international sports tournaments such as VTV National Volleyball Cup for Strong Female Clubs and Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship.

The 2020 HDBank National Futsal Cup is divided into two stages. In stage one (preliminary stage, from November 15 to 19), four teams namely Sanvinest Sanna Khanh Hoa, Cao Bang, Tan Hiep Hung, and Quang Nam compete in single round robin format to decide two teams with the most points. In round 2 (knockout round, from November 22 to 26), these two teams will join the six already qualified teams, who are the host Hung Gia Khang Dak Lak and five teams placing from first to fifth (Thai Son Nam, Sahako, Sanvinest Sanatech Khanh Hoa, Kardiachain Saigon, Thai Son Bac) in the national championship. They will be divided into two tables. 
 
Last year's runners-up, Da Nang, don’t participate in this year’s tournament. Therefore, the 2020 championship is predicted to be a fierce competition between Sanvinest Sanatech Khanh Hoa (champions of the 2019 HDBank National Futsal Cup) and Thai Son Nam (champions of the 2020 HDBank National Futsal Championship). Apart from these two teams, Sahako, Kardiachain Saigon, and Sanvinest Sanna Khanh Hoa are also the highly-appreciated teams in this year’s HDBank National Futsal Cup. Sanvinest Sanna Khanh Hoa performed quite well at the 2020 HDBank National Futsal Championship; their young players are showing progress compared to what they performed in the previous seasons. They are likely to be a very competitive team for the championship.
