Determine the final match pairings for the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup 2026

The final matches of this year's Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup promise to be exciting.

Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup 2026 — the first official tournament of the year for Vietnamese professional volleyball — is nearing its conclusion. After thrilling and surprising matches, the top four teams in the men's and women's categories have been revealed.

The women's final will be an unexpected matchup between VTV Binh Dien Long An and VietinBank. While VTV Binh Dien Long An reaching the final was predicted, as Coach Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa's team dominated recent matches with standout performances from Le Nhu Anh, Nguyen Thi Tra My, and foreign player Lianet Garcia, VietinBank's entry into the championship match is truly a surprise.

The bank's representative no longer has Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet directing, main attacker Vi Thi Nhu Quynh also followed her coach to Hanoi Tasco Auto, Dang Thi Hong has retired from professional play, setter Ton Thi Minh Thu transferred to XMLS Thanh Hoa, and the team also lacks experienced blocker Dinh Thi Tra Giang. Overcoming all difficulties, Coach Le Van Dung's team successively defeated Hanoi and especially Thong Tin - Dong Bac in the semifinals to draw everyone's attention.

Captain Hoang Thi Phuong Anh and main attacker H'Mia E Ban are leading VietinBank's remarkable journey, and the team's defense is solid with young talents Nguyen Phuong Quynh and Nguyen Minh Thu.

Meanwhile, in the men's category, the reigning champion Border Guard will face a promising match against host LPB Ninh Binh. Border Guard easily defeated Hanoi in the semifinals, while the police representative also demonstrated resilience against host LPB Ninh Binh.

The two sides previously met in the group stage, with Dinh Van Duy and his teammates winning 3-1 to top the group.

The men's and women's finals of the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup 2026 will take place on March 23 at the Ninh Binh Provincial Sports Stadium.
