With an extraordinary comeback against Thailand, the Vietnamese Sepak Takraw team won the world championship for the third time.

The Vietnamese women’s team had to compete in a foreign country, so they faced many difficulties. The two teams met again in the context of Thailand’s desire to “revenge” after the defeat at the Sepak Takraw World Cup last March. The home field advantage and high spirits helped Thailand enter the match in high spirits. They defeated the Vietnamese women’s team in the first set with a score of 15-12.

Faced with difficulties, the players showed their bravery and tenacity. The team calmly regained each point and won overwhelmingly in the second game. At this point, the score was 1-1 and the two teams entered the deciding game.

In the first serves, Thailand regained their spirit and led 5-2. But they suddenly lost their mind, creating an opportunity for Vietnam to score 6 consecutive points and lead 8-5. At this time, the Thai coach asked for advice, but it was too late. They continued to make mistakes in serving the ball and that was an opportunity for Vietnam to win.

In a pivotal situation, the Thai player failed to hit the ball over the net. The score of the third set was set at 15-7. On the other side of the court, the Vietnamese players hugged each other and celebrated in the silence of the Central Hatyai Stadium, which was packed with home fans.

The match ended with a score of 2-1 in favor of the Vietnamese women's team, helping the team win the World Sepak Takraw Championship for the third time, all belonging to the 4-person women's team. The first time took place in 2022, when the team also won against Thailand.
