The upcoming semifinal matches of the 2025 National Women's Volleyball Championship promise to be thrilling, featuring some of the top clubs.
Although there is still one group stage match remaining in the 2025 National Women's Volleyball Championship, the four teams qualifying for the championship semifinals have already been confirmed.
Thanks to the significant advantage gained from the first phase earlier this year, LPB Ninh Bình, VTV Bình Điền Long An, VietinBank, and Thông tin - Đông Bắc all avoided mistakes to advance to the title contention round.
VietinBank was the first team to secure a spot in the top 4 after a dominant 3-0 victory over Geleximco Hưng Yên on October 7. It has been quite some time since the Bank team competed for the championship, but with coach Nguyễn Tuấn Kiệt and stars like Vi Thị Như Quỳnh and Nguyễn Phương Quỳnh, they have made a strong comeback and are ready to cause an upset against stronger opponents.
The defending champion VTV Bình Điền Long An also achieved their goal after a tougher-than-expected win against Ho Chi Minh City. However, there remain many challenges for coach Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Hoa as VTV Bình Điền Long An no longer maintains the strength they had last season.
The host of phase 2 and the National Championship Finals, LPB Ninh Bình, despite losing their opening match to Thông tin - Đông Bắc, secured advancement thanks to five wins in phase 1. However, similar to VTV BĐLA, their title chances this season are uncertain due to the absence of key player Nguyễn Thị Bích Tuyền.
For Thông tin - Đông Bắc, the victory over LPB Ninh Bình was enough to seal their place in this season’s top 4. With the presence of star foreign player Irina Voronkova and a quality roster led by veteran coach Phạm Văn Long, Thông tin - Đông Bắc is a strong contender for the championship.
Meanwhile, the defending bronze medalists HCĐG Lào Cai have failed to break into the top 4 for the first time in many years. The season for Trần Thị Bích Thủy and her teammates is essentially over, as their chances of being dragged into the relegation battle are very slim.
