2025 is the year that witnessed two mixed emotions of Ho Chi Minh City volleyball. At the end of the 2025 National Championship, the Ho Chi Minh City women's team was officially relegated due to not achieving the best form.
However, the men's volleyball team of this unit managed to regain the trust of professionals by winning the 2025 National A-Class Championship and also winning a ticket to the 2026 National Championship.
If counting the results at the National Championship since 2004 (the period when the name was changed from the National Strong Team Championship to the National Championship), the Ho Chi Minh City men's volleyball team won 3 championships in 2015, 2018 and 2019.
Referring to Ho Chi Minh City men's volleyball in the past, many people still admire when this unit trained and produced many generations of players with good expertise. During his time coaching and bringing the Ho Chi Minh City men's team to the top of the list with 3 consecutive appearances in the national championship finals (in 2018, 2019, 2020), former coach Bui Huy Cham once analyzed: "Ho Chi Minh City men's volleyball has many players with good expertise. The important thing is that the players grow together so they understand each other about the playing style.
In 2023, the team accepted to stop at the National Volleyball Championship and was relegated from a poor performance. The Ho Chi Minh City men's team had to go through many difficult periods, as well as accept seeing many key players leave because they could not guarantee the best regimes.

In 2024, coach Huynh Van Tuan will start taking on the role of head coach and aim to return to the National Championship with the team. However, in the 2024 National A-League, the Ho Chi Minh City men's team was a bit unlucky to reach the final finish line.
However, coach Huynh Van Tuan once shared that all preparations and efforts will never end so that every Ho Chi Minh City player can strive to return to the National Championship as soon as possible.
This year, the team has completed the set goal. In the final round of the 2025 National A-League held in Ha Tinh, the Ho Chi Minh City volleyball players did not lose any match. In the first match of the group stage of the final round, the Ho Chi Minh City hitters won against the home team Ha Tinh. After this victory, many analysts considered it a lucky result.
However, the Ho Chi Minh City player affirmed that luck is only a part of the result because it all depends on effort and focus on professional preparation. In the final match (evening of November 1), Ho Chi Minh City team continued to beat host Ha Tinh team 3-1.
Right on the field after the final match, coach Huynh Van Tuan and all the students hugged each other in happy emotions. They have competed with more than 100% professional potential. Most importantly, Ho Chi Minh City volleyball still has a team participating in the National Championship.
List of male players from Ho Chi Minh City who participated in the final match of the 2025 National A-League: Chau Thanh Phu, Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Tran Hoai Phuong, Truong Viet Nhan, Tran Ho Minh Hieu, Nguyen Gia Huy, Doan Trung Hieu, Nguyen Trung Hieu, Nguyen Anh Hong Hoang, Phan Chi Thanh, Nguyen Hoang Long, Tran Thanh Nhan.
