Information from Ninh Binh Women's Club, athlete Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen decided to withdraw from the competition list in the second phase of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship. The reason why this setter did not participate in the highest tournament of Vietnamese volleyball was due to injury.

Currently, the official list of teams participating in the second phase of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship has not been announced, but it is very difficult to have any changes related to Bich Tuyen's withdrawal.

According to research, the 2000-born player will be registered by the Hoa Lu ancient capital football team as an assistant coach.

Thus, after withdrawing from the Vietnamese women's volleyball team at the 2025 world championship, Bich Tuyen also did not participate as an athlete in the national tournament.

Bich Tuyen’s decision is said to be under a lot of pressure from football teams, the media and fans. Recently, the 25-year-old player has caused a lot of controversy related to gender issues.

Before that, in the first stage, Bich Tuyen still played. She helped Ninh Binh Club to finish first in the women's group. However, according to research, some teams were not satisfied when Ninh Binh used a controversial athlete like Bich Tuyen.

By not participating in the second phase of the 2025 National Championship, Bich Tuyen may not be called up by coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet to the national team to prepare for the 33rd SEA Games, even though this athlete was previously on the preliminary list.

Phase 2 of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship takes place from October 7-16 in Ninh Binh, including 8 men's teams: MB Border Guard, Tan Cang The Cong, Ho Chi Minh City Police, Da Nang, Tay Ninh, Hanoi, Sanest Khanh Hoa and LPBank Ninh Binh.

The 8 women's teams include: VTV Binh Dien Long An, Duc Giang Chemicals, Information Corps, Ho Chi Minh City, Hung Yen, Long Son Thanh Hoa Cement, VietinBank and LPBank Ninh Binh.
