In the second phase of the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team (starting from October 25), Tran Thi Thanh Thuy and Tran Thi Bich Thuy are not on the list.
At this time, the 2 players are competing in the Japan Women's Volleyball Tournament. Therefore, Thanh Thuy and Bich Thuy have not yet gathered with the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team.
However, head coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet once said that the two players above are important athletes of the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team. Therefore, they will have the opportunity to join the national team when they return from Japan.
According to the plan, Thanh Thuy and Bich Thuy returned home in early December. They will have the opportunity to participate in the 33rd SEA Games with the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team if they maintain stable performance. After the 33rd SEA Games, both continued to return to Japan. The 2025-2026 Japanese women's volleyball tournament will last until April 2026.
Tran Thi Thanh Thuy and Tran Thi Bich Thuy have played for the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team in the international mission phase in early 2025. They are the official players in the AVC Nations League 2025, VTV Cup 2025, World Championship 2025, SEA V.League 2025.
2 years ago, middle blocker Bich Thuy and main blocker Thanh Thuy were members of the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team that won the silver medal at the 32nd SEA Games in 2023 in Cambodia.
Because player Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen was not allowed to join the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team in the second phase of 2025, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy will almost certainly be the most important attacking player of coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet.
