The Asian Volleyball Federation decided that the teams participating in the AVC Champions League 2026 of the regions must compete in the qualifying round for official tickets. Therefore, VTV Binh Dien Long An team must implement this.
The announcement has just been made and VTV Binh Dien Long An will play the qualifying match against opponent Supreme Chonburi (Thailand).
The match is scheduled to be held in Bangkok (Thailand) on February 26. If VTV Binh Dien Long An wins against the opponent, they will have an official spot to participate in the AVC Champions League 2026 held in April in Korea.
Previously, the Asian Volleyball Federation defaulted that national champions in member countries of the Asian Volleyball Federation would be eligible to participate in the AVC Champions League. However, the AVC Champions League 2026 unexpectedly changed the method of awarding slots to participating teams.
In 2025, VTV Binh Dien Long An won the runner-up position in this tournament. However, coach Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa's team did not receive a priority ticket to officially participate in this year's tournament.
Organizing the AVC Champions League 2026 qualifying match right in February will require the coaching staff of VTV Binh Dien Long An team to calculate appropriate professional forces.
This is the stage when this team is preparing to head towards the 1st round of the 2026 National Championship. In 2025, in addition to foreign players, VTV Binh Dien Long An team once hired main attacker Vi Thi Nhu Quynh to play in the AVC Champions League 2025.
