Duc Giang Chemicals team won 3-0 against Long Son Thanh Hoa Cement in the first match of phase 2 of the 2025 National Championship (October 7). However, coach Nguyen Huu Ha's team is still temporarily ranked 5th, uncertain to qualify for the final round.
This team will also play the final match of the group stage against VTV Binh Dien Long An (October 10), and at the same time, we must see the results of the Information Corps team to clearly understand the chances of reaching the final round of this year's tournament.
This is a surprising result for fans. In the previous 5 seasons (from 2020 to 2024), the Duc Giang Chemicals team always affirmed the competition results to soon qualify for the finals.
In the seasons from 2020 to 2024, the Duc Giang Chemicals team has reached the finals and affirmed to be the top team in the country. However, the Duc Giang Chemicals women's volleyball team of businessman Dao Huu Huyen only won the runner-up position.
Last year, Duc Giang Chemicals won 6 matches and lost 2 matches in the group stage. The result helped Duc Giang Chemicals decide their place in the final round.
However, this year, after 6 group stage matches of the 2025 National Championship, Duc Giang Chemicals has only had 3 wins and 3 losses. The losses of this team were against opponents LPBank Ninh Binh, Information Corps and Vietinbank.
In the second phase of the 2025 National Championship, head coach Nguyen Huu Ha has added Thailand Kuttika Kaewpin's main striker. However, the team "lost" striker Tran Tu Linh due to injury.
