The match begins

Tran Thi Thanh Thuy (3), Tran Thi Bich Thuy (9), Vi Thi Nhu Quynh (16), Doan Thi Xuan (17), Pham Thi Hien (18), Doan Thi Lam Oanh (19) are the starting players of the Vietnam team.

In Group F, the Japanese women's team lost to China 2-3 (25-23, 20-25, 25-19, 24-26, 14-16). The second-placed team in Group E will meet China in the semi-finals. The group winner will meet Japan.

The Vietnamese and Thai women's volleyball teams are both certain to advance to the semi-finals of the Asian Championship. The match between the two teams will only determine the group winners and the opponents in the next match.

The Vietnamese team entered the semi-finals of the Asian Championship for the first time.

This is the first time the Vietnamese women's team has entered the top four teams of the Asian championship. This confirms the progress of coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team after continuously participating in tournaments since the beginning of the year.

However, compared to Thailand, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team is still inferior in many aspects. Tran Thi Thanh Thuy and her teammates can cause difficulties for their opponents, but it is very difficult to win.

In addition to their superior level, the Thai team also has home field advantage and is showing high performance. The team from the Golden Temple has not lost a single match at the 2023 Asian Championship.

Facing a strong opponent, fans probably only expect the Vietnamese women's team to play with ease, give their all, and compete for as many points as possible, just like their performances at SEA Games 32 and SEA V.League.
