According to the plan, members of the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team will have a flight to the Philippines late on June 3 to participate in the AVC Cup 2026.

When arriving in the Philippines, it is expected that the whole team will have 4 hours of travel in the Organizing Committee's car to the city of Candon (Philippines). This is the venue for the tournament.
Before going to the Philippines, the players of the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team had their last training session at Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports. The coaching staff said that at present no players have been injured.
This year, AVC Cup 2026 has 12 participating teams. The Vietnamese women's volleyball team will hold a technical meeting with the Organizing Committee before the tournament kicks off to announce the official squad list for competition.
