This study comprehensively analyzes the current state of physical education (PE) in Vietnam during the 2020-2025 period and proposes a strategic development roadmap to 2030. The analysis shows that despite important reforms in policy and curriculum toward developing comprehensive student capabilities, PE work still faces significant challenges. These challenges include the lack and inconsistency of facilities, teachers' capabilities not meeting innovation requirements, and reliance on traditional pedagogical methods. In this context, the report identifies two core drivers for transformation: the national digital transformation strategy in education and the sustainable development orientation. The report argues that strategically integrating digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Virtual Reality (VR), and innovative teaching models (Blended Learning, OMO) is not merely a technological solution but an essential means to achieve sustainable development goals, specifically ensuring health and well-being (Sustainable Development Goal 3) and quality, equitable education (Sustainable Development Goal 4). Based on the analysis of the current situation and international trends, the report proposes a comprehensive solution roadmap for the 2025-2030 period, focusing on three main pillars: (1) Curriculum and pedagogical innovation, (2) Capacity development for the teaching staff, and (3) Policy and infrastructure improvement. The ultimate goal is to transform physical education from a traditional subject into a dynamic, data-driven, and inclusive field, contributing to the comprehensive development of Vietnam's younger generation.
