HA NOI – Viet Nam plans to bar foreign
volleyball players from competing in the country from 2013.
The Volleyball Federation of Viet Nam (VFV)
said the move was designed to promote the domestic game.
"We have weighed up the pros and cons of
using foreigners in our tournaments. We have proposed to the Ministry of
Culture, Sports and Tourism to bar foreigners from competing in the country. It
is time to use our own players, as other countries in the region have decided
to do," said Tran Duc Phan, VFV's general secretary.
Foreign players have been competing in Việt
Nam since 2002. However, it is thought they have deterred local players from
participating in the sport.
At the 26th SEA Games in Indonesia last
November the men's team failed to make the top three, while the women's team
were defeated by Thailand in the final.
