Pre-match information
The highlight in the opening match of the 2026 National Volleyball Championship is the confrontation between VTV Binh Dien Long An and Vietinbank. This match promises to bring exciting and dramatic developments, because before that, they had faced each other in the final of the Hoa Lu Cup 2026 not long ago.
In that match, despite being rated slightly higher in both force and expertise, and playing experience, VTV Binh Dien Long An faced many difficulties against the opponent's playing style. Coach Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa's team had to wait until set 5 to win.
Currently, the representative of the Mekong Delta still maintains the familiar framework with Kim Thoa, Tra My, Kim Thanh, Lu Phuong, Bao Ngoc... Besides, they continue to retain Lianet Garcia - who has proven his scoring ability and bravery at the recent Hoa Lu Cup.
On the other side, Vietinbank's squad is still young potential faces and full of enthusiasm. The performance at the Hoa Lu Cup proves that they are not a weak team, ready to become an "obstacle" for the championship ambitions of strong opponents.
