The Vietnamese volleyball transfer market is very active as the 2026 National Championship season approaches.

Lưu Huệ’s contract with the historic team ends at the close of 2025, and she has decided not to renew. She is the next notable player to part ways with the current national runner-up, middle blocker Lê Thanh Thúy, who transferred to play for Hà Nội - Tasco Auto alongside veteran libero Nguyễn Thị Kim Liên, who is likely to join XMLS Thanh Hóa.
