Thanh Hoa is about to have quality foreign players
Volleyball clubs are scrambling to find foreign players and complete their squads before the second phase of the 2024 national championship kicks off in November. Long Son Thanh Hoa Cement has just parted ways with striker Cai Xiaoqing due to domestic schedules. Many sources said that Thanh Hoa has reached an agreement to recruit another Chinese foreign player, Liu Yanhan.
Liu Yanhan was born in 1993, is 1m88 tall, has a jump of 3m15, and a block of 3m05. Previously, she and the Chinese women's volleyball team won the FIVB World Cup twice in 2015 and 2019, won 2 gold medals at the Asian Championship in 2014 and 2018, and 1 silver medal at the 2014 ASIAD...
The 31-year-old striker's experience and expertise will bring quality to Thanh Hoa, after the club finished 4th in phase 1.
Phuong Thuy shows off her beauty
Striker Nguyen Huynh Phuong Thuy just shared a photo album on the occasion of her 20th birthday. She wore a feminine dress and makeup, completely different from the strong image she usually sees on the field.
Phuong Thuy is an athlete of the Information Corps, promoted to the first team since 2022. She has progressed very quickly and was called up to the Vietnam women's volleyball team in 2023. Although only 1m73 tall, Phuong Thuy's strengths are her strong physique, good jumping ability and tactical thinking.
The Ca Mau striker is expected to follow in the footsteps of his seniors in the future after training and developing in the first team of the Information Corps.

On the afternoon of October 2, the Vietinbank women's volleyball club divided into teams for a friendly match during the training session. Head coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet, assistant coach Pham Thi Kim Hue and the coaching staff were on the same team, facing off against the players.
Assistant coach Kim Hue shared a video of this special match on her personal page. It can be seen that the coaching staff's team played better, despite being physically weaker than the players.
On October 4, the Vietinbank women's team will participate in the Loa Thanh Cup Women's Volleyball Open Tournament in Dong Anh District, competing with three other teams including Duc Giang Chemicals, Hanoi and the Information Corps.
