Although Lianet García is a player who has played for the Cuban women's volleyball team. In addition, VTV Binh Dien Long An team once hired Lianet García to strengthen the squad to compete in the Hung Vuong Cup 2025.

In addition, the team also parted ways with libero Nguyen Khanh Dang from the beginning of 2026.
However, the agreement with Lianet García was made. If the parties reach the final terms, Lianet García will come to Vietnam at the end of March.
