Reality has shown that the technology content in training in the Vietnamese sports industry is currently quite low. That is the reason why competition results have a large discrepancy compared to when athletes practice, as well as the inability to accurately predict results in major arenas such as the Asian Games or the Olympics, although it is easy to exceed the medal target at the SEA Games. When data collection and exploitation are not properly invested, it is easy to miss out on young talents, or not invest properly in athletes with outstanding professional indicators. Therefore, the sports industry is determined to drastically implement digital transformation in the coming time.

Digital transformation in the sports industry is about changing the way of operating from operating based on experience and emotional information to operating based on accurate data. Digital transformation is a revolution in the way of operating and creating value, in which technology plays a role as a tool, and the core is a change in the thinking and strategy of the organization.

So what role do big data platforms and technology applications play in digital transformation of the sports industry?
