She received a flood of compliments following her impressive performance on a special occasion at the first important tournament of 2026.
Setter Kim Thoa was one of the best-performing players for VTV Bình Điền Long An in their 3-0 victory over Hanoi Tasco Auto Club in their opening match at the Hoa Lư Bình Điền Cup 2026.
On her birthday (March 18), Kim Thoa marked her 28th year (born in 1998) with a high-quality performance against Hanoi Tasco Auto Club in VTV Bình Điền Long An's opening match at the Hoa Lư Bình Điền Cup 2026.

VTV Bình Điền Long An convincingly defeated Hanoi Tasco Auto Club 3-0 in their opening match at the Hoa Lư Bình Điền Cup 2026.

Coach Tuấn Kiệt and his players still have much work to do after their 0-3 loss to VTV Bình Điền Long An.
The Vietnamese women's national team setter continuously delivered extremely "sweet" passes for players like Như Anh, Lianet Garcia, Trà My… to score points for Long An. Even in situations where Long An players had poor first touches, Kim Thoa still successfully adjusted the ball.
Kim Thoa's ability to distribute the ball rationally and her high-quality passing were the key factors that helped VTV Bình Điền Long An play vibrantly against a Hanoi Tasco Auto Club filled with stars but still lacking smoothness and coordination in their gameplay, due to considerable personnel changes in the first season under Coach Tuấn Kiệt.




Kim Thoa turned 28 on March 18, 2026.

Kim Thoa played exceptionally well against Hanoi Tasco Auto Club.
Flexible ball distribution and默契 with the wing attackers have always been Kim Thoa's prominent strengths, and she continued to leverage these advantages when facing Hanoi Tasco Auto Club.
This was a match where almost all positions of VTV Bình Điền Long An performed well, but Kim Thoa's role remained highly decisive as she was the direct creator of scoring opportunities for her teammates.
Cuban main attacker Lianet Garcia had an extremely "hot" debut, scoring 26 points for VTV Bình Điền Long An. The 1.88m tall hitter displayed an impressive reach with very satisfying spikes that hit the floor, but Kim Thoa's passes, which were "tailor-made" for this hitter, contributed significantly to Lianet Garcia's high-quality debut.
If she continues to maintain this form, Kim Thoa will keep her starting position over Lâm Oanh as the setter for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team in tournaments throughout 2026.
Helping Long An start dreamily at the Hoa Lư Bình Điền Cup and "scoring points" strongly with Coach Tuấn Kiệt by defeating his own team, Kim Thoa celebrated her 28th birthday in a way that couldn't be more perfect.
