LPBank V.League 1-2025/26: “Robot War” – a story of identity and technology

VHO - LPBank V.League 1-2025/26 is having an extremely attractive start with the competition of 14 participating teams. In the short film (Promo) introducing the season just announced, the Tournament is likened to a great space war with the image of 14 teams - 14 Robots portrayed in a unique and creative way, expecting an extremely exciting and attractive season...

V.League continues to show remarkable innovations in communication work and image building of the tournament in recent years.

The new season trailer is constantly changing in style and concept, thereby creating attraction and spreading the image of the Tournament.

At the Promo season 2025/26, the image of 14 football teams participating in V.League 1 is approached in a completely new style, with a touch of the 4.0 era when building the image of "Space Robot Battle".

Each club has a unique, strong and individual image, but still contains the cultural identity values ​​of each locality and each team.

Based on the idea of ​​a sci-fi action movie, the competition between football teams - the space war of Robots has been clearly depicted.

In addition to modern sounds and images, regional cultural characteristics, local identity or the personalities of the football teams have been depicted in each Robot image - a character symbolizing the V.League 1 clubs participating in LPBank V.League 1-2025/26.

14 "Robots" full of personality in the race to the top position at LPBank V.League 1-2025/26.

Each Robot character is accompanied by a player image representing the team, showing strength and courage towards the future, while emphasizing that the human factor is still the key factor - where talent masters technology.

It can be affirmed that Promo V.League 2025/26 is a breakthrough in approach and image building.

Each segment about the Robot Clubs not only brings an engaging story, but also a blend of modern technology towards the future and honoring traditional values ​​and cultural identity.

Another interesting detail in this year's Promo season is the order in which the clubs appear.

Normally, the organizers choose one of two ways: alphabetical order or according to the ranking in the previous season. However, in this year's Promo, in addition to the defending champion, TXND Club, appearing first, the organizers decided to let the teams appear in turn without any rules. The Promo has 2 parts including music and pictures.

They are independent but closely linked. The visual part, although time-consuming to build, is basically based on available materials.

The music , which is more elaborately produced, relies heavily on creativity.

The arrangement of the teams is not according to any rules, but is actually to better suit the rhythm of the music, ensuring reasonableness in terms of content.

This gives the viewer a better experience.

In general, in addition to the innovative creativity that has been achieved in recent years, the Organizing Committee has shown a clearer goal in targeting younger customers and viewers by choosing ideas and staging content that keeps up with modern trends, while still maintaining and honoring the traditional identity values ​​of each club and locality.
