18:00 (21/3) – Border Guard MB vs Hanoi (Men's Semifinal 1)
After three rounds of group stage matches (March 18–20), the standings in both categories have been finalized, clearly determining the semifinal pairings and ranking matches. Therefore, the matches on March 21 are pivotal in the race for the championship.

Long An is currently in very high form
In the women's category, the 5th–6th place match between Hanoi and Long Son Thanh Hoa Cement is a clash between two teams that did not secure any victories in the group stage. Hanoi previously lost 0-3 to VTV Binh Dien Long An and then narrowly lost 2-3 to VietinBank, showing effort but lacking consistency. Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa lost both of its matches, particularly a 0-3 defeat to the Signal Corps. Considering the comparison, Hanoi is rated slightly higher due to a better performance in the final round.
The focal point of the day's matches lies in the semifinal between VTV Binh Dien Long An and LPB Ninh Binh. The Western region team displayed devastating form by winning both matches with identical 3-0 scores against Hanoi and VietinBank. Their stable and effective play style makes them the top contender for the championship. On the other hand, LPB Ninh Binh started favorably but disappointed with a heavy 0-3 loss to the Signal Corps in the final round. Despite having home advantage, the ancient capital's team must improve significantly if they want to surprise Long An.
In the men's category, the semifinal between Border Guard MB and Hanoi is predicted to have a certain gap. Border Guard MB continues to demonstrate the strength of the reigning champion by successively defeating Ho Chi Minh City (3-0) and Ho Chi Minh City Police (3-1), thereby securing the top spot in Group A. Meanwhile, Hanoi advanced from Group B as the runner-up after defeating The Cong Tan Cang but losing to LPB Ninh Binh. Comparing squad strength and experience, Border Guard MB is still rated higher, but Hanoi could certainly create difficulties if they maintain the competitive spirit shown in their victory on March 19.
