At the meeting, the VMF presented the tournament organisation plan, saying with the aim of staging a professional, large-scale event combined with tourism promotion, the federation has developed a proposal to host the race on the Moc Chau Plateau. Following site surveys, Moc Chau Island tourist area has been proposed as the main venue for the race and related organisational and logistical activities.

The tournament is expected to attract 20–30 teams from countries and territories around the world and is slated to take place in mid-May 2026. The event will also feature a range of side activities aimed at promoting the race and showcasing the image of the Moc Chau National Tourist Area.
