Vietnamese women's volleyball goes out to sea

Proud of Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and the women's volleyball team

It is no coincidence that the Vietnamese women's volleyball team was honored in 10 cultural, sports and tourism events in Vietnam in 2024 and is the only sporting event to receive this honor.

The Vietnamese women's volleyball team excellently won the AVC Challenger Asia Championship, winning a ticket to the FIVB Challenger World Championship. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team also created a historical milestone with a bronze medal at the FIVB Challenger World Championship. Not only that, the achievement of ranking 4th in the Asian Championship also brought the Vietnamese women's volleyball team to a new page in history when they won a ticket to the World Volleyball Championship for the first time, which gathered 32 best teams.

Vietnamese women's volleyball wants to reach the international arena

A BUSY YEAR

In 2025, Vietnamese women's volleyball will be busy when the team competes in many important international tournaments such as SEA Games 33, World Volleyball Championship (in Thailand), SEA V.League, Asian Championship. In addition, the Vietnamese youth team will also participate in the U.21 World Cup.

The success of Vietnamese women's volleyball has not stopped when the U.20 team ranked 5th in Asia, thereby winning the right to participate in the U.21 World Cup in 2025. The success of Vietnamese youth volleyball shows in part the fundamental and effective investment in the next generation of talented players. At the club level, Vietnamese women's volleyball is also proud when for the first time a club won the right to participate in the final round of the Women's Club World Championship. LPBank Ninh Binh Club won the runner-up position in the Asian Club Championship, from which they represented Vietnamese women's volleyball to participate in the World Club Championship taking place in Hangzhou (China).

Need for breakthrough investment

Winning a ticket to the 2025 World Volleyball Championship, but in this prestigious playground, the opportunity for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team to go far, even to win just 1 match is difficult...

“We have to face the reality that the level of Vietnamese women's volleyball is at a competitive level in the continent, in Southeast Asia we have to find a way to defeat the number 1 opponent Thailand, and the world championship is a big playground, we participate mainly to experience and learn. To compete in a big tournament like the world championship, Vietnamese volleyball needs a process,” said Mr. Le Tri Truong, General Secretary of the Vietnam Volleyball Federation.

Girls volleyball needs more investment

One of the issues that experts, even the head coach of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team, want is how to concentrate the team long-term to have good preparation for important international tournaments. However, in the context of Vietnamese sports, especially volleyball, which has not yet operated according to a professional model, clubs need players to compete in national championships and other tournaments, so it is difficult to concentrate the team long-term. "We are trying to build an increasingly professional national championship with the hope that more clubs will invest heavily in volleyball. From there, many talents will be born for Vietnamese volleyball. At the team level, we will concentrate in each stage, depending on the proposal of the coaching board to achieve specific goals," said Mr. Truong.

Vietnam women's volleyball team

A veteran coach said that Vietnamese women's volleyball has a lot of potential but needs to be untied in the way it is done. For example, clubs need to have a long-term vision, invest heavily, and aim to compete not only in national tournaments but also in international tournaments. Then, Vietnamese athletes can compete with many strong opponents to improve their skills. Vietnamese volleyball talents also need to be given opportunities by domestic clubs to compete abroad... At the team level, if long-term concentration is not possible, they should go for international training and play friendly matches with strong teams to hone their skills and improve.
