According to Lao Dong's research, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet hopes that foreign player Jelena Vulin (serbia) will come to Vietnam to participate in the second phase of the 2025 National Championship but has not been successful. Currently, the Vietinbank team has not officially decided on the foreign player.
Player Jelena Vulin played effectively with the Vietinbank team in the first stage. However, she is competing in China so she has not decided whether to return to Vietnam or not.
Vietinbank team is temporarily ranked 4th in the women's event. They will play the remaining 2 matches in the group stage of the second stage against Hung Yen and Long Son Thanh Hoa Cement. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet hopes the team will reach the final round, so the players must play effectively in the last 2 matches of the group stage.
In the first phase, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet had domestic players competing including Ton Thi Minh Thu, Ha Kieu Vy, Tran Thi Phuong, Tran Thi Hue, Hoang Thi Phuong Anh, Bui Hai Yen, Vi Thi Nhu Quynh, Bui Thi Hong Tham, Dang Thi Hong, Nguyen Phuong Quynh, Le Thi Phuong Anh, Nguyen Thi Ninh Anh, Dinh Thi Tra Giang, Nguyen Minh Thu.
This team is almost certain not to add new domestic players and focus on finding suitable foreign players to register to compete. In Vietinbank's squad, the two hitters Dang Thi Hong and Vi Thi Nhu Quynh are still important main attackers preparing for the second phase of the 2025 National Championship.
