Ho Chi Minh City Police officially ascended to the throne at the Hung Vuong Cup 2026 after a convincing victory over Bien Phong MB in the final. This is a landmark title, marking the change of ownership of the throne after many years of the military team's dominance.
Right from the first set, Ho Chi Minh City Police showed superiority with an overwhelming playing style. The presence of two foreign players helped the police team significantly increase their strength, creating a clear difference in both attack and defense.
A one-way battle was quickly established, causing Bien Phong to have many difficulties in deploying their playing style.
In set 2, Bien Phong showed efforts to improve by tightening the squad, especially in attack. However, against an opponent maintaining stable form and controlling the pace of the match well, the soldier team still could not reverse the situation.
Problems in the first step made Bien Phong's playing style lack coherence, while the main attacking spearheads did not have much room to perform.
Throughout the match, the trio Quoc Du - Ali - Licek on the Ho Chi Minh City Police side played prominently, maintaining high stability. The block and defense system operated effectively, almost giving the opponent no chance to break away.
Conversely, key players such as Ngoc Thuan, Jakkrit or Duy Tuyen on Bien Phong's side could not show much faced with great pressure from the opponent.
Closing the match, Ho Chi Minh City Police completely deserved the championship when showing comprehensive dominance. This victory not only helped them reclaim the previous "debt", but also ended Bien Phong MB's 3-time consecutive championship streak, thereby establishing a new "king" of the Hung Vuong Cup.
The first title in the 2026 season will be an important spiritual boost for Ho Chi Minh City Police to move towards the remaining stage of the national championship with many expectations.
