Vietnamese and Thai men's volleyball teams in the same group in stage 2 of the SEA V.Cup 2026
According to the announcement of the Organizing Committee of leg 2 of the SEA V.Cup 2026 Tournament taking place in Indonesia from July 22 to July 26, the teams still maintain the same group as in the first leg.
Thus, the 6 teams in the 2nd leg continue to belong to 2 groups, respectively Group A: Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia and Group B: Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar.
The Vietnamese men's volleyball team will rematch with Thailand in the group stage at stage 2 of the SEA V.League 2026 to find a chance to win.
In the first leg just passed, Vietnamese men's players lost to Thailand 2 consecutive matches with 1 match in the group stage and the third-place match.
This year, the organizers of the SEA V.Cup 2026 tournament did not change the draw after each leg to create professional drama for the teams.
The Vietnamese men's volleyball team arrived in Indonesia with 14 players including Dinh Van Duy, Tran Hoai Phuong, Nguyen Ngoc Thuan, Duong Van Tien, Tang Ngoc Hieu, Tran Minh Duc, Pham Quoc Du, Dinh Van Phuong, Bui Xuan Tien, Tran Duy Tuyen, Truong The Khai, Pham Thanh Tung, Cao Duc Hoang and Trinh Duy Phuc.
The team's goal is to reach the semi-finals and find opportunities to participate in the final of leg 2 of the SEA V.Cup 2026 tournament.
FIVB will calculate competition points in stage 2 of the SEA V.Cup 2026
The results of the first leg of the men's event of the SEA V.Cup 2026 held in the Philippines were not counted on the FIVB rankings.
However, it is likely that the performance results in stage 2 of the 6 participating teams (Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines) will begin to be counted for FIVB ranking points.
According to a recent sharing from FIVB regulations, the calculation of points in the ranking for teams of the league in the region may only be determined once.
The SEA V.Cup 2026 tournament organizes 2 consecutive stages, so it is very likely that only 1 stage will be scored on the FIVB rankings.
However, neither side has specifically determined this. Everyone will wait for the reality of competition in Indonesia.
At the end of the first leg of the SEA V.Cup 2026, the Cambodian team won the championship. The Indonesian team finished second and Thailand ranked third.
However, these 3 teams did not get extra points in the world rankings.
