Revive volleyball in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi

In recent years, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi volleyball teams have been in a situation where they have just been promoted and then have to struggle to find a way to stay in the league.

T HESITATE...

At the recently concluded national A-class volleyball tournament in Ha Tinh , the Ho Chi Minh City men's volleyball team, led by coach Huynh Van Tuan, excelled in defeating strong opponents, especially the host Ha Tinh in the final to win the only ticket to play in the 2026 national championship. Bursting with joy at returning to the top volleyball arena in Vietnam, the coaching staff of the Ho Chi Minh City men's volleyball team could not help but worry. Because although they are building a quality domestic squad, to compete in next year's tournament at a higher level with stronger opponents, the team needs to upgrade its force and recruit good foreign players. The prerequisite to solving the above problem is a strong investment in funding to attract talent and athletes to confidently contribute.

The Ho Chi Minh City men's volleyball team won the national championship in 2015, 2018, 2019 but gradually weakened and was relegated in 2023, only now returning to the highest level of competition. The team really needs timely actions from management levels, including the role of the Ho Chi Minh City Volleyball Federation in socializing sports to find funding sources for the team.

With the recent merger of Binh Duong and Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City men's volleyball team has been given wings by adding more talents. Coach Huynh Van Tuan is considered a silent hero, inspiring enthusiasm in each Ho Chi Minh City player. Thanks to that, this team, which was not highly rated, has reaped success this season. Fans expect Ho Chi Minh City volleyball team to gather the strongest force to return to its golden age.

" LIFE CHANGE" THANKS TO SPONSORS

This year, Hanoi volleyball received good news when the women's team won the promotion but the men's team had a bad performance, almost having to play in the A league next season. The timely support of a sponsor helped Hanoi women's volleyball team hire 2 foreign players from the US and Thailand. In addition, this team also has an attractive salary and bonus policy to motivate the athletes. That is the key to the success of Hanoi women's volleyball team recently.

Young players such as Vi Thi Yen Nhi, Bui Thi Anh Thao, and Le Thuy Linh played explosively, contributing to helping Hanoi women's volleyball defeat formidable opponents Quang Ninh in the A-League, winning a promotion ticket. Fans expect the capital's women's volleyball team to continue to receive strong investment to foster young talents, avoiding the situation of being promoted and then relegated like before. At the promotion celebration ceremony that just took place, the Hanoi Volleyball Federation and sponsors affirmed that they will invest long-term and take good care to help Hanoi women's volleyball stand firm in the national championship next season. That is a very encouraging sign because the capital's women's volleyball team owns many young faces with great potential.

However, in addition to investing in the women's team, the Hanoi men's volleyball team also needs to be taken care of to upgrade the squad, increasing the ability to compete in the national championship season next year, instead of having to worry about relegation. For many seasons, the Hanoi men's volleyball team has lacked strength because it does not have quality domestic players and cannot hire good foreign players due to lack of funds.
