According to Lao Dong's investigation, former hitter Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen will not play in the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup taking place in Tay Ninh from May 15 to May 23.
VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup 2026 is not part of the national volleyball competition program of the Vietnam Sports Administration and the Vietnam Volleyball Federation.
However, Bich Tuyen has left the ring and focused on coaching, so the coaching staff of the LPB Ninh Binh women's team created maximum conditions for coach Bich Tuyen to take on professional tasks.
In round 1 of the 2026 National Club Championship, coach Bich Tuyen participated in the coaching staff of the LPB Ninh Binh women's team.
At the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup 2024, when Bich Tuyen was still playing, the LPB Ninh Binh women's team reached the final and unfortunately lost to the PFU Blue Cats (Japan) team, so they received the runner-up title.
After 2 years, the LPB Ninh Binh women's team returned to compete in the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup 2026 to aim for the best results. The team does not hire foreign players to participate in this tournament in Tay Ninh.
Coach Thai Thanh Tung has decided to strengthen 1 foreign player, main attacker Kuttika Kaewpin (Thailand), to participate in the tournament. LPB Ninh Binh and VTV Binh Dien Long An women's teams will be 2 representatives of Vietnam with increased foreign players competing in the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup 2026.
This year, the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup 2026 has 8 women's teams participating, including VTV Binh Dien Long An (host), LPB Ninh Binh, Binh Chung Thong Tin, Vietinbank, Hanoi, Gunma Green Wings (Japan), Suwon (Korea), Jiangsu (China).
