Vietnamese volleyball star standing 1.95m tall shares special good news after going abroad, continuing to make history

Middle blocker Lý Thị Luyến helped Hobby Ace Club achieve a win over Darkhan Moguls in the Mongolian Premier Volleyball League today (November 7).

In the second round of the 2025/2026 Mongolian Premier Volleyball League, Vietnamese middle blocker Lý Thị Luyến continued to play for Hobby Ace Club in a five-set match against the rookie team Darkhan Moguls, which includes Thai foreign player Jarasporn Bundasak.

After more than two hours of intense play, Hobby Ace secured a 3-2 victory (25-14, 15-25, 25-21, 19-15, and 15-10). Lý Thị Luyến was again given playing time, showing her good adaptation to Hobby Ace. This was Lý Thị Luyến’s first win wearing the Mongolian club’s jersey.

Previously, in her debut match against Khilchin, Hobby Ace lost 2-3 (25-18, 15-25, 10-25, 25-23, 15-11), but Luyến gained important experience in the Mongolian National Championship.

Wearing number 19 at Hobby Ace and standing 1.95m tall, the tallest among Vietnamese female volleyball players, Lý Thị Luyến made history as the first Vietnamese athlete to win in a Mongolian league tournament.

Her contract lasts one season, from November 1, 2025, to February 7, 2026, after which she will return to Vietnam to compete in the first phase of the 2026 National Championship.

Born in 2000, Lý Thị Luyến is a pillar of Hóa chất Đức Giang, has been frequently called up to the national team, and ranks among the top 10 best middle blockers in Vietnamese women’s volleyball history with a 3.08m approach jump and a 2.98m block jump. Going abroad helps her accumulate international experience, enhance fitness, and maximize her height advantage.

Hobby Ace finished 5th last season in Mongolia, and Luyến’s addition is expected to boost the team’s strength.

Lý Thị Luyến’s first victory wearing the Hobby Ace jersey is a notable milestone in her overseas career.
