The addition of main striker Irinavoronkova (Russia) helped the Information Corps team compete strongly and become the number 1 candidate to win the championship this year.
In the second phase of the 2025 National Championship, coach Pham Van Long and his team played sharply, defeating LPBank Ninh Binh 3-0 in the first match. Next, they beat Hung Yen 3-0. temporarily, the Information Corps took the lead in the women's event.
The 4 women's teams that have reached the semi-finals are the Information Corps, LPBank Ninh Binh, VTV Binh Dien Long An and Vietinbank. The final positions of the top 4 teams will be decided after the competition on October 10. This position will decide the semi-final matches for women.
Contributing greatly to the recent victories is the main strikerikeriker Irinavoronkova. It is easy to see that the Russian hitter brings new spirit to the players of the army team.
Each position confidently plays on the field. The Information Corps player showed good coordination and Irinavoronkova was the last to finish. Coach Pham Van Long once shared that he and the coaching staff were cautious with all opponents in phase 2.
In fact, Irinavoronkova's appearance helped the Information Corps' formation become more perfect in attack. At this time, coaches Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa (VTV Binh Dien Long An), Thai Thanh Tung (LPBank Ninh Binh) and Nguyen Tuan Kiet (Vietinbank) have begun to develop a plan to counter Irinavoronkova if their team has to face the Information Corps in the semi-finals.
When the National Championship allows foreign players to return to compete from 2022 to present, Irinavoronkova is the second foreign player to play completely outstandingly in women's matches. In 2022, hitter Polina (Azerbaijan) did this. She and the Hung Yen team won the 2022 national championship trophy.
This year, Irinavoronkova is helping the Information Corps get closer to the national championship trophy after much waiting. The army team has not reached the final of the national championship since 2022.
