Few people thought that the 2024 national volleyball runner-up, Sanest Khanh Hoa, would lose to Hanoi in the important match on the afternoon of October 11 in Ninh Binh. As long as they get points in the above match, Sanest Khanh Hoa will stay in the league. However, they lost the match.
The Hanoi team aims to stay in the league, so they should play with the highest determination and win 3-0 (33-31, 28-26, 22-25). The victory temporarily saves Hanoi. Coach Nguyen Huu Truong (Hanoi) affirmed: We consider each remaining match of the qualifying round and the relegation battle as a joint match. Therefore, the players must play to the best of their abilities.
The 4 teams that must participate in the relegation battle at this year's National Championship include Sanest Khanh Hoa, Hanoi, Tay Ninh and Da Nang.
Previously, the head of the volleyball department (Hanoi Sports Training and Competition Center) - Mr. Bui Dinh Loi said that the Hanoi men's team will try to achieve the best results to stay in the national tournament.
In 2024, this team also had to participate in the relegation battle and successfully. In the second phase of the 2025 National Championship, for the first time, the Hanoi men's volleyball team hired foreign players. Snooker Kuon Mom (Cambodia) is playing for this team.
