Middle blocker Tran Thi Bich Thuy is likely to still be able to participate in round 1 of the tournament, which will be held from April 6 to April 19 at Dong Anh Gymnasium (Hanoi).
In the technical meeting before round 1 of the 2026 National Club Championship, coach Nguyen Huu Ha (Duc Giang Chemicals) still registered Tran Thi Bich Thuy in the squad of 14 official faces.
She is currently in Japan. Although initially expected, Bich Thuy could finish competing in Japan in May, so she did not have time to return to Vietnam to participate in round 1.
In the official list of Hoa Chat Duc Giang team, middle blocker Ly Thi Luyen is also named. She returned home on April 5 after winning the championship in Thailand with Nakhon Ratchasima Qmin C VC team (Thailand).
With VTV Binh Dien Long An team, main attacker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy is not included in the list of 14 athletes who will participate in round 1 this time in Dong Anh (Hanoi). This is understandable, because Thanh Thuy is competing in Japan.
The unforeseen absence is national team player Hoang Thi Kieu Trinh. She suffered a hand injury in March, when preparing for the Hoa Lu Cup 2026 in Ninh Binh.
Kieu Trinh's injury needs many months to recover. Therefore, the player is not registered by the Binh Chung Thong Tin team to play in Dong Anh (Hanoi). If she can recover well and reach her form, Kieu Trinh is fully capable of returning to play in round 2.
Another regrettable absence in the women's event is former national team player Tran Tu Linh. The coaching staff of Duc Giang Chemicals team did not register her into the official 14 players even though there was a preliminary list of professional preparations.
The women's content matches in round 1 of the 2026 National Club Championship will take place from April 6 to 19. The women's content has 8 participating teams.
