Dai Nam University Student Sports Festival 2025: Healthy to be happy

This morning (November 23), Dai Nam University campus was full of energy when the 2nd DNU Student Sports Festival - 2025 officially kicked off, with four subjects attracting a large number of students to participate: Self-defense, Yoga, Dance and Football.

The atmosphere of the sports festival became more exciting than ever with impressive performances, fierce competitions and strong sportsmanship. But what makes the Dai Nam Sports Festival different is not only the competition or performance. It is also the philosophy that the University steadfastly pursues: building a healthy - energetic - happy student community through the elective physical education program - a pioneering and unique direction of DNU.

Physical Education – Sports are a hobby, a joy and a passion of youth

At Dai Nam University, sports are not an obligation or a pressure to get good grades. Sports are a hobby, a joy, and a way for each student to nurture a healthy body and a strong spirit to be ready for the future.

Students are free to choose subjects that suit their personality and energy: be strong with Martial Arts, balance with Yoga, explode with Dance or bond with teammates through Soccer. The spirit of the elective physical program is clearly expressed in three principles: no pressure, no compulsion and no studying to finish.

Thanks to that, sports become a good habit, a healthy lifestyle and a means for students to take care of themselves every day.

DNU aims to build a student community that is physically healthy, active, confident, and positive in lifestyle and always maintains a happy and healthy spirit every day. Furthermore, the University hopes that each student will not only have good intelligence and good skills but also good physical strength to enter life with confidence and pride.

Speaking at the Sports Festival, Ms. Cao Thi Hoa - Vice President of the School Council emphasized: "At Dai Nam University, we believe that a healthy body will nurture a strong spirit. Sports are not pressure, but joy, passion and an important part of youth. The school always wants each student to not only be good at knowledge and have solid skills, but also have good health to confidently step into life and shine on their own journey."

Sharing about the orientation of physical education, Mr. Ngo Xuan Nguyen - Deputy Head of the Faculty of Politics - National Defense - Physical Education affirmed: "The sports festival is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their bravery, strength and discipline. But more importantly, this is an opportunity for them to form long-term training habits, building a sustainable physical foundation. The Faculty always accompanies each DNU student to develop comprehensively and become the best version of themselves."

Sports Festival - where personal energy blends into community strength

From the field to the mat, from the quiet moments of yoga to the explosion of dance, all create a picture of the sports festival imbued with the "Dai Nam vibe": healthy, youthful, civilized and connected.

The sports festival is not just a competition. It is where students meet new friends, connect more deeply with the group, create positive energy and find their inner strength. More importantly, it is also an environment for each student to clearly feel the spirit of solidarity, support and inspiration from the Dainamers community.

This is also a form of “spiritual welfare” that Dai Nam University offers to students – an environment where health, emotions and comprehensive development are nurtured sincerely and sustainably.
