The flag-raising ceremony, held just one day before the opening ceremony, marked the official presence of the Vietnamese sports delegation at Asia's largest multi-sport event. The welcome ceremonies—which include the flag-raising ritual—have been held over the past three days at Fuji Plaza at Garden Pier, Port of Nagoya, where the Organizing Committee has set up an "Athletes Interaction Area."
The Games’ opening ceremony is scheduled for 6 pm on Saturday at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium. The Vietnamese delegation comprises 498 members, including 348 athletes, and is led by Deputy Director of the Vietnam Sports Administration Nguyen Hong Minh.
