The Vietnamese men's volleyball team will enter the third-place match in stage 1 of SEA V.League 2026 against Thailand at 1:00 PM today (July 19). This is a rematch between the two teams, as Vietnam once lost to the opponent 0-3 in the group stage.
In the semi-finals, the defeat against Indonesia prevented coach Federico Rampazzo's team from competing for the number one position in Southeast Asia.

In the remaining match taking place at 4:30 PM, Cambodia will face Indonesia in the final. This is a confrontation between the two teams with the most stable form since the beginning of the tournament.
