In August 2026, Vietnamese badminton player Vu Thi Trang was eliminated in the second round of the women’s singles at the Badminton World Championships after losing to South Korea’s Sim Yu Jin. During this period, veteran player Nguyen Tien Minh advanced to the third round of the Vietnam International Series in Bac Ninh, and the RC Junior Open 2026 commenced in Ho Chi Minh City.

By September 2026, the focus shifted to the Vietnam Open 2026, a BWF Tour Super 100 tournament held in Ho Chi Minh City. While several top local players, including Nguyen Thuy Linh, Vu Thi Trang, and Le Duc Phat, were eliminated early, Nguyen Hai Dang advanced to the men’s singles quarterfinals following victories over competitors from Malaysia and India. He was scheduled to face Japan’s Minoru Koga in the quarterfinals.
