Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet has given the opportunity for libero Ca Thi Tu to be one of the 14 official faces of the Women's Volleyball Team to compete in Dong Anh (Hanoi).
For domestic women's volleyball fans, the return of Ca Thi Tu is a pleasant surprise.
However, the coaching staff believes that the decision to choose their people and the competition slot given to Ca Thi Tu to participate in the first leg of the SEA V.Cup 2026 is appropriate.
Three years ago, Ca Thi Tu was once gathered for the first time for the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team.
She is in the main squad of 14 players who won the VTV Cup 2023 Women's Volleyball Championship.
At the Lao Cai Provincial Sports Center at that time, Ca Thi Tu cried in emotion when she won the international tournament for the first time with the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. "I will always keep this memory. This is a memorable result for me personally," Ca Thi Tu once expressed after the VTV Cup 2023 final.
After 3 years since then, now Ca Thi Tu has a second opportunity to train with the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team.
Few people know that Ca Thi Tu belongs to the list of 14 players to be supplemented for training for the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team after the AVC Cup 2026.
However, this libero with a quick playing style and solid defensive ability has overcome the strict professional requirements from coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet to officially participate in the first leg of the SEA V.Cup 2026.
Compared to many teammates who are currently training at the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team, Ca Thi Tu is somewhat inferior.
Because, she is playing with the Bac Ninh women's team in the National Volleyball League A, not in the National Championship.
The opportunity for Ca Thi Tu to show professionalism in top volleyball matches of the National Championship is not much.
However, the player himself always affirmed that he wholeheartedly and strives to play for his managing team to achieve the best results in the National Volleyball League A.
At the end of the 2025 National Volleyball League A, although the Bac Ninh women's team did not win a promotion spot, Ca Thi Tu was honored to receive the individual award of the best defensive encouragement Van.
In the group stage of the 2026 National Volleyball League A tournament played in Dien Bien in May, Ca Thi Tu was one of the outstanding players who helped the Bac Ninh women's team achieve enough points to continue to advance to the finals this year.
Playing the libero position has its own characteristics. In which, players must be very quick to observe the right time to have the best defense step. Through each tournament, I always try to focus my expertise to the best to ensure my performance when competing," Ca Thi Tu once shared during the last days of practice at Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports before going to Dong Anh (Hanoi) to prepare for the first leg of the SEA V.Cup 2026 tournament.
Ca Thi Tu is from Dien Bien. She started practicing volleyball with the Bac Ninh talent team from 2018.
Since then, Ca Thi Tu has developed her expertise and become a pillar of the Bac Ninh women's volleyball team.
Above all, Ca Thi Tu confidently stepped into the international arena in the role of a player of the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team at this time.
