After ending her contract with PFU Blue Cats (Japan), Thanh Thuy joined Kuzeyboru Club in Turkey. The Vietnamese player was registered by this team in the official list of 14 players playing in the Turkish national championship.
However, in November 2024, the two sides decided to say goodbye to each other due to Thanh Thuy's injury. This is regrettable because if she continued to stay, "4T" would have had many opportunities to develop herself.
After leaving Kuzeyboru Club, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy did not play in the domestic league but continued to go abroad. Her next destination is the Gresik Petrokimia Pupuk volleyball team of the Indonesian Women's Volleyball Championship (Proliga).
Tran Thi Thanh Thuy continuously goes abroad.
This is the 6th time Thanh Thuy has gone abroad, becoming the Vietnamese athlete to compete for the most foreign teams. At Gresik Petrokimia Pupuk, Thanh Thuy is the oldest player on the team, along with libero Ayu Salsabila. The rest are young players, most of whom were born in 2000 or later.
Proliga 2025 takes place from January to May 2025, including clubs Jakarta Electric PLN, Jakarta Popsivo Polwan, Jakarta Pertamina Enduro, Gresik Petrokimia Pupuk, Bandung Bank bjb Tandamata, Jakarta Livin Mandiri and Yogyakarta Falcons.
Proliga is the highest-paying league in Southeast Asia and is in the top 5 in Asia. It is known that players competing in this league have an average income of about 135 million Rupiah (equivalent to about 213 million VND/month).
This is not the largest amount of money Thanh Thuy has ever received while playing abroad. However, with her talent and influence, Thanh Thuy certainly receives a salary many times higher than the average of players competing in the country.
January 5 marked a special milestone for Tran Thi Thanh Thuy when this player entered the field in the main squad of Gresik Petrokimia in the first round against Jakarta Pertamina. Tran Thi Thanh Thuy's team won 3-0 (25/20, 25/23, 25/20). Tran Thi Thanh Thuy was one of the key scorers for the Gresik Petrokimia team.
Thanh Thuy is the "locomotive" of Vietnamese women's volleyball.
In 2025, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will continue to compete internationally and Thanh Thuy is one of the important players in coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's plan.
If she competes regularly in Indonesia, Thanh Thuy will have the opportunity to compete with many highly skilled opponents, thereby accumulating experience and competitive spirit for herself.
This not only helps "4T" develop their career, but also helps the Vietnamese women's volleyball team prepare for the 2025 World Cup with the best preparation.
“Thanh Thuy’s participation abroad has greatly benefited the Vietnamese women’s volleyball team. However, if more athletes like Thanh Thuy go abroad, we will have the opportunity to develop and hopefully do something at the World Cup,” said coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet.
