Thanh Thuy plays alongside new foreign soldiers
Striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy and Gresik Petrokimia Pupuk club will have their opening match in the 2025 Indonesian National Women's Volleyball Championship on January 5, facing Jakarta Pertamina Enduro.
Before the new season started, Thanh Thuy's team brought in another foreign player, Kitania Medina. This setter is Cuban, born on February 24, 1999. Medina is 1m88 tall, has a jump of 3m08 and a block of 2m95.
Compared to Thanh Thuy, Kitania Medina does not have an impressive career. However, with her powerful playing style, the 25-year-old opposite setter promises to be the face that will play alongside Thanh Thuy, becoming the attacking players who score points for the Gresik Petrokimia Pupuk team.
The Signal Corps has a new sponsor.
On the morning of December 30, the Information Corps women's volleyball club held a signing ceremony with the team's official sponsor for the new season.
According to the agreement, the contract between the two parties is valid for 5 years, from 2025 to the end of 2029. The military team was also renamed the Information Corps - Northeast Corporation.
In particular, within the framework of the ceremony, the Information Corps club launched a new competition uniform for the 2025 season. These changes promise to help coach Pham Van Long and his team have more motivation and encouragement, ready to aim for a high ranking in the upcoming season.
2 strong teams continue to be absent from Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup 2025
The 2025 Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup is the tournament to kick off the new season for Vietnamese volleyball. However, similar to last year's season, next year's tournament will lack big names in both the men's and women's categories.
In the men's category, Sanest Khanh Hoa is absent, and in the women's category, Duc Giang Chemicals will not participate in the tournament. These are the two teams that are the current national runners-up in the 2024 season but have not regularly participated in the Hoa Lu Cup in recent years.
However, by still gathering the top men's and women's football teams in the country, the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup 2025 promises to have exciting developments, a stepping stone for players of the teams to prepare for the season ahead.
