According to Lao Dong's information, opposite hitter Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen will not compete in the 2026 national volleyball championship. She continues to be associated with LPB Ninh Binh in another role, similar to phase 2 of the 2025 tournament. This makes fans regretful.
According to head coach Thai Thanh Tung, Bich Tuyen is still an official member of the team in the 2026 season. However, she is assigned other professional tasks according to the team's plan, which means she will not register to compete in any tournament this year.
Previously, in the 2nd round of the 2025 national championship, opposite hitter Bich Tuyen did not play due to a recurrence of injury. During this period, she accompanied the team in the role of logistics support and caregiver.
The coaching staff of Ninh Binh team assessed that Bich Tuyen still has a great contribution in terms of expertise. Her many years of competition experience is used in coaching support and team management. Although not directly on the field, the opposite hitter born in 2000 still participates in the overall operation of the team.
LPB Ninh Binh currently has no plans for Bich Tuyen to return to the arena in the near future. Up to now, all of Bich Tuyen's tasks revolve around coaching and professional support.
According to the schedule, the 2026 National Championship is organized in 2 phases. The first phase takes place at Dong Anh Gymnasium (Hanoi) from April 6 to April 19, 2026.
Phase 2 and the final round will be organized separately: the women's event takes place in Vinh Long from October 14 to October 25, while the men's event competes at the Ho Chi Minh City Police Sports Center from October 28 to November 8, 2026.
