DNO - Standing Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People's Council and Chairman of the city’s Pickleball Federation (DPF) Tran Phuoc Son chaired a meeting on Wednesday with representatives of Joola Global and America & Asia Connect Co., Ltd. (AAC) to discuss their cooperation in the coming time.
The meeting was within the framework of the ongoing Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour Asia - MB Vietnam Cup 2025 in Da Nang.
During the meeting, Standing Vice Chairman Son emphasized that Da Nang is the first and only locality in Vietnam to have established the Pickleball Federation. In recent years, Pickleball has developed strongly and professionally in the city with many major tournaments being organized continuously.
He hoped that Joola Global will continue to provide maximum support for the annual organization of international-level Pickleball tournaments in Da Nang.
He also expressed his desire that Joola Group will strengthen coordination and facilitate opportunities for Da Nang's coaches and athletes to attend training courses at Joola’s centers to gain experience.
With the aim to introduce Pickleball into schools, the city called for Joola’s support in providing training equipment and building a manufacturing facility in the city to help reduce product costs, Mr. Son added.
Mr. Richard Lee, CEO of Joola Global, and Ms. Kimbely Koh, Director of PPA Asia, basically agreed with the proposals from DPF’s leader and affirmed that they will continue to discuss more deeply in the near future.
