Middle blocker Bích Thủy shines in her second match in Japan

Trần Thị Bích Thủy rapidly proved her abilities while wearing the colors of her new club.

Vietnam women's national volleyball player Trần Thị Bích Thủy recently stood out playing for Okayama Seagulls, a club competing in Japan’s national championship (SV.League) for the 2025-2026 season.

Wearing jersey number 27, Bích Thủy played her second match for the new team in a rematch against Denso Airybees on the afternoon of November 30th, Vietnam time. After an unremarkable debut scoring 4 points and suffering a heavy defeat with Okayama, the middle blocker born in 2000 made a strong comeback, contributing significantly to the team’s 3-1 victory.

According to statistics on the official Japanese national league website, Bích Thủy scored 12 points (10 attack points, 1 block point, 1 direct serve point), ranking among the top scorers for Okayama Seagulls in this match. This marked the "Seagulls" second win in 16 matches this SV.League season, ending a six-match losing streak.

Following this successful game, both Trần Thị Bích Thủy and Trần Thị Thanh Thúy—currently playing for Gunma Green Wings will soon return to Vietnam to join the national team in preparation for competing at the 33rd SEA Games held in Thailand..

Okayama Seagulls is the third foreign club in Bích Thủy’s career, after Air Force (Thailand) and GS Caltex Seoul Kixx (South Korea). In both previous stints abroad, the middle blocker from Ba Vì, Hanoi left a strong impression and continuously showed professional growth.

Notably, while playing for GS Caltex, Bích Thủy was regarded as the team’s "lucky charm," helping the Seoul-based club end a poor runand perform excellently to escape last place by the season’s end. Okayama Seagulls fans are likely eager to see the Vietnamese player continue her "magic" to help improve the team’s results in this year’s SV.League.
