Since its inaugural season in 2015, the Victory Cup has become one of the most prestigious sports awards in Vietnam, recognising more than 100 distinguished figures, from sporting legends to young stars making their mark at the continental and global levels.

Victory Cup 2025 features 11 award categories: Male Athlete of the Year; Female Athlete of the Year; Young Athlete of the Year; Coach of the Year; National Team of the Year; Team of the Year; Most Popular Athlete; Outstanding Para-athlete of the Year; Sports Image or Moment of the Year; Lifetime Achievement Award; and Outstanding Foreign Expert of the Year.

The total cash prize remains a record VND750 million for all 11 categories, with the highest individual prize of VND 100 million awarded in three categories (Male Athlete of the Year, Female Athlete of the Year, and National Team of the Year).

Notably, in line with the Victory Cup’s distinctive approach, the organisers will finalise the shortlist of nominees and conduct the voting after SEA Games 33 (December 9-20, 2025)-Vietnam’s biggest international sports event of the year, to ensure the most deserving athletes and teams are recognised.

Voting will be conducted in two rounds: the first round open to the public and fans nationwide, and the second round handled by a judging panel of sports administrators, experts, and respected sports journalists, following a strict and transparent process.

With meticulous preparation in all aspects, the organisers will publish detailed guidelines and the voting process to ensure maximum convenience for fans during the peak voting period, expected from December 25, 2025, to January 25, 2026.
