According to Lao Dong's investigation, foreign main attacker Ivana Vanjak (Germany) will not participate in the VTV9-Binh Dien 2026 International Women's Volleyball Tournament in May with the Hanoi women's team.
The tournament allows teams to strengthen foreign players. However, Ivana Vanjak's contract with the Hanoi women's team will only take place in the first round of the 2026 National Club Championship and the Hung Vuong Cup 2026. After that, this hitter will carry out her professional program abroad.
If nothing changes, Ivana Vanjak will go to Turkey to play for Manisa BBSK to compete in the national championship here.
This year, Ivana Vanjak is the foreign player with the best expertise in the women's event. The hitter and Hanoi team finished first in round 1 of the 2026 National Club Championship with 7 wins. At the same time, she and Hanoi women's team just won the Hung Vuong Cup 2026 championship.
At the above 2 tournaments, the Hanoi women's team will only strengthen 1 foreign player. According to the program, this team will leave Phu Tho on April 27th and then continue to train in Hanoi to prepare for the VTV9-Binh Dien Cup 2026. The tournament will compete in Tay Ninh from May 15th to May 23rd with the participation of 8 teams (5 representatives of Vietnam, 3 international guests).
