On the Opening Night, DIFF 2024 was officially celebrated with vivid fireworks performances from the reigning champion France, and the host, Vietnam. The Da Nang team's fireworks display was impressive, but it was unfortunately marred by smoke. This was the general sentiment about their performance: "Dance of the Sky."
Meanwhile, the French team's performance was inspired by the dragon, a symbolic creature of Vietnamese culture. They have illuminated the sky with colorful displays, to convey a message of strength, power, and human connection. The team also scored strongly when they brought popular Vietnamese songs into their performance.
