Identify the first 4 teams to participate in the 2023 Hung Vuong Cup volleyball tournament

After 9 days of competition with 20 exciting and intense matches, the first round of Group A round 1 of the National Volleyball Championship has officially ended. The face of the two groups of men and women has been clearly defined and the four teams that won tickets to the Hung Vuong Cup have been revealed.

In the women's content, although it is considered a "lighter" group than Group B, the 5 teams created tense matches. In this group, Ninh Binh LienVietPostBank and Geleximco Thai Binh are evaluated from the beginning as the two teams that will compete for the first place and second place, but the reality is not so.

Ninh Binh LienVietPostBank has proven itself worthy of being one of the teams that can compete for the championship this year. Coach Thai Thanh Tung's teachers and students had a series of 4 unbeaten matches and won 12 maximum points. On the side of Geleximco Thai Binh, the defending champion team had an unstable performance when they lost 0-3 to Ninh Binh and Than Quang Ninh, thereby finishing in 3rd place of the rankings. The remaining ticket of Group A to attend the Hung Kings Cup is Than Quang Ninh. After 4 matches, the mining team got 8 points to take second place in the table.

In the men's content, as expected, Sanest Khanh Hoa was the top team in Group A with 4 wins, thereby firmly holding the first ticket to attend the Hung Vuong Cup. The other ticket is a competition between Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Tinh, Hanoi and Da Nang.

The situation of Group A for men became unpredictable when the teams proved to be no less competitive, especially rookie Da Nang. Da Nang is considered the dark horse of the first round when it defeated Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with a score of 0-3, along with a 2-3 loss to Ha Tinh. Before the match between Ha Tinh and Hanoi took place, the chance to win second place in the table was divided equally between Ha Tinh and Da Nang. It was thought that Ha Tinh would be the team that would attend the Hung Vuong Cup, but Tran Duc Hanh and his teammates suddenly lost 0-3 to Hanoi, thereby accidentally dropping the ticket into the hands of Da Nang.

Thus, the 4 representative teams of Group A participating in the Hung Vuong Cup are male Sanest Khanh Hoa, male Da Nang, female Ninh Binh LienVietPostBank and female Than Quang Ninh. The remaining 4 teams will be determined after the group B match ends. Group B will take place from March 10-19 at Gia Lam Thermal Power Plant.
