The Vietnam women's volleyball team will face a packed schedule in the 2026 season.
The Vietnam women's volleyball team will assemble earlier than usual to prepare for a series of important tournaments in the 2026 season.
Accordingly, right after the Hoa Lư - Bình Điền Cup, scheduled from March 18 to March 24, concludes, the Vietnam women's volleyball team will hold their first regrouping session to familiarize themselves with training plans for the new season within a short timeframe. The players will then return to their respective clubs to participate in the first phase of the national volleyball championship held in Đông Anh from April 6 to April 19.
After completing the first phase of the National Championship and the Hùng Vương Cup, Coach Nguyễn Tuấn Kiệt and his team will continue their momentum to enter a series of continental and regional events from June to September.
In the last two seasons, the team regrouped after the Hùng Vương Cup. This decision reflects the thorough preparation and strong determination of Coach Nguyễn Tuấn Kiệt and his players before entering major competitions.
Besides the AVC Cup (formerly known as the AVC Challenge Cup or AVC Nations Cup) and two legs of the SEA V.League, the Vietnam women's volleyball team will also participate in the Asian Championship and ASIAD 20 – two tournaments where Trần Thị Thanh Thúy and her teammates made a remarkable impact in 2023 by finishing fourth overall, just behind the continent’s top three teams: China, Japan, and Thailand.
Among these four tournaments, ASIAD 20, held in Aichi and Nagoya (Japan), is the most important event of the year.
