In more details, the 21-year-old player from Binh Dien Long An Club will start to play for the new team in Japan V.League 1 scheduled on October 12. Prior to the first competition, Thuy seems to be very excited, as she thinks this will be a great chance for herself to hone her skills in Asia's leading country in volleyball.

Before joining Denso Airy Bees, the team which was ranked fifth in Japan last season, Thuy had played for Thailand’s Bangkok Glass and Attack Line of Chinese Taipei.
