The Vietnam women's volleyball team will compete with the Philippines women's volleyball team in the semi-final of the 33rd SEA Games, taking place at 12:30 today (December 14).
The remaining semi-final match is the confrontation between host Thailand and Indonesia, starting at 15:00.
Before entering the semi-finals, the Vietnam women's volleyball team showed very impressive performance in the group stage. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team won all three matches against Myanmar, Malaysia and Indonesia, all with a score of 3-0, thereby affirming their position as the leading candidate for the gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games.
Notably, in the match that decided the top spot with Indonesia, the coaching staff fielded the strongest squad with the participation of Thanh Thuy, Bich Thuy, Lam Oanh, Nguyen Khanh Dang...
In this key victory, captain Thanh Thuy continued to affirm her leading role when scoring 15 points, showing stable performance in both attack and defense. In addition, Kieu Trinh also played effectively with 13 points, contributing to helping the Vietnamese team control the game and convincingly close the group stage.
Although highly appreciated, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team still needs to exercise the necessary caution when facing the Philippines. The team from this island nation lost to Thailand 0-3 in the group stage, but has shown many clear improvements in recent times.
If they win, the Vietnamese team will likely meet host Thailand in the 33rd SEA Games final.
