A total of five foreign players, including Leo of Hyundai Capital, Russell of Korean Air, and Villena of KB Insurance, who led the men's third round, and two women's teams, including Victoria of IBK Industrial Bank and GS Caltex Silva, will play in the V-League next season.

KOVO announced on the 9th (Korea time) a list of re-signing foreign players in the men's and women's divisions who will play the V-League together in the 2025-2026 season. While trying out foreign players in Istanbul, Turkiye, there were a total of five teams for men and women who renewed their contracts by the deadline.

For the men's team, three players, Leo, who led Hyundai Capital to the championship, Russell, who showed good performance in the postseason as a substitute for Korean Air, and Villena, who ranked the team second in the regular league by ranking first in scoring, succeeded in renewing the contract. Woori Card, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, Korea Electric Power Corp. and OK Savings Bank decided to find a new player in this tryout.




In the women's division, only two people decided to renew their contracts. With Silva, who finished first in scoring, renewing his contract early, Victoria, who ranked second in scoring, also decided to join the Industrial Bank of Korea for two consecutive seasons.

Heungkuk Life Insurance, the winner, decided not to renew the contract with Tutku, and the runner-up Jeong Kwan-jang's Bukirich left for the Italian league. Hyundai Engineering & Construction chose to say goodbye to Moma, and Korea Expressway Corporation also decided to find another player instead of Nicolova.

Choosing a foreign player is an important decision that determines the fate of the team. The men's draft will be held at 10 a.m. Korean time on the 9th in Turkiye, and the women's draft will be held at 3 p.m.
