The men's content of the 2024 National Volleyball Championship will start from November 21 to December 1 in Ba Ria Vung Tau. 8/9 men's teams will have foreign reinforcements for the upcoming period. As for the Hanoi men's team, due to financial issues, the capital's representative will use 100% domestic players.
Currently, all 8 remaining teams have found suitable foreign players. The current national champion Sanest Khanh Hoa will still use Evandro Dias De Souza (Brazil). This is the face that coach Bui Quang Ngoc often chooses to play as a main player, throughout the matches in phase 1, Hung Vuong Cup... This foreign player has contributed to Sanest Khanh Hoa's journey to win the national championship last year.
With a height of 2m, an attacking jump of 3m55, and a blocking jump of up to 3m42, Evandro continues to be trusted by coach Bui Quang Ngoc and invited to compete to realize the goal of defending the championship.
Aiming for high results, the Ninh Binh men's team has added Thai striker Napadet. Although he is often present in the attack, this player is highly appreciated for his effective first-step defense ability. With Napadet, coach Bui Trung Thao will have more options to overcome the weaknesses that the Ancient Capital team is facing.
The Ha Tinh men's team has brought in Cuban hitter Gonzalez Garcia. This foreign player arrived in Vietnam on October 23 to begin training. With a height of 2m04, a jump range of 3m70 and a jump range of 3m40, Gonzalez Garcia will be the signing that will help the Ha Tinh men's team achieve high results in phase 2.
For Da Nang, Russian foreign player Iurri Kruzhkhov is the chosen face. Although he is 30 years old, this player has an attacking jump of 3m51. Besides, having come to Vietnam and getting acquainted with the team early will help Iurri Kruzhkhov play smoothly, maximizing his strength in the upcoming matches.
In the upcoming phase 2, the Long An men's team will continue to have the service of Kuon Mom (Cambodia), the Vinh Long team will hire foreign player Alexandr Fomenko (Kazakhstan). The two army volleyball teams, Border Defense and The Cong Tan Cang, will strengthen their foreign players to compete in phase 2 of the 2024 national championship, but currently, information about these players has not been disclosed.
This year, the tournament will be played in a round-robin format in the group stage. Each team will play 8 matches to determine the position and owner of the ticket to the semi-finals.
In phase 1, apart from the slightly better performance of Sanest Khanh Hoa and Bien Phong, the overall level of the remaining teams is not really too different. Therefore, fans are still waiting for a surprise to happen in the men's event in phase 2 of the 2024 national championship.
