The Information Corps women's volleyball team plans to add a Russian foreign player to participate in the second phase of the 2025 National Championship.
According to Lao Dong's investigation, this player has worked through a brokerage with the Information Corps team and the parties will proceed to sign a contract. The player is introduced to have worn the Russian Women's Volleyball Team jersey.
Coach Pham Van Long once said that the Information Corps team is cautiously preparing professionally and hopes that foreign players will integrate well with their teammates.
If nothing changes, the Russian foreign player will join the Information Corps team at the end of September. Phase 2 of the 2025 National Championship started on October 10 at Ninh Binh Provincial Gymnasium.
The Information Corps team has appointed Mr. Pham Van Long as head coach before the 2025 season starts. At the same time, former head coach Pham Minh Dung is an assistant in the coaching staff of head coach Pham Van Long.
With the new coaching staff, the Information Corps team aims to reach the final of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship. At the end of the first phase, the army team won 3 matches and lost 2 matches to temporarily rank 3rd. This team will meet LPBank Ninh Binh and Hung Yen in the remaining 2 matches of the group stage in phase 2.
The coaching staff of the Information Corps team said that foreign player Andrea Mitrovic ( Canada) who played in the first phase will not participate in the second phase of the 2025 National Championship.
In 2024, the Information Corps team hired a highly skilled hitter, Jana Kulan (Azerbaijan), but did not achieve the best results.
At this time, 5 national players Doan Thi Lam Oanh, Hoang Thi Kieu Trinh, Nguyen Thi Phuong, Luu Thi Ly Ly, Pham Thi Hien have finished their vacation to return to practice to prepare for the second phase of the 2025 National Championship with the army team.
