A series of Vietnamese volleyball stars will be absent from a major tournament, causing difficulties for Coach Tuấn Kiệt.

Many Vietnamese volleyball stars will be absent during the second phase of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship.

The second phase of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship will start on October 7, but the pre-tournament atmosphere is somewhat quiet due to the absence of many top Vietnamese female volleyball stars for various reasons.

Captain Trần Thị Thanh Thúy of VTV Bình Điền Long An will not compete in the second phase of the 2025 National Championship. After fulfilling her role with the Vietnamese national team at the World Championship, she transferred to Japan to play for Gunma Green Wings. Without this key scorer, Long An faces difficulties in the championship race, currently trailing LPB Ninh Bình by 2 points in the rankings.
