Main attacker Pham Quynh Huong will be prepared for the 2026 Asian Volleyball Championship
Young main attacker Pham Quynh Huong is participating in stage 2 of the SEA V.Cup 2026 Tournament in Thailand.
Recently, the Vietnam Volleyball Federation also expressed its view that this player is one of the athletes whose forces are being prepared by the coaching staff for the 2026 Asian Championship.
Therefore, Pham Quynh Huong was not registered by the managing unit of the Information Corps to participate in the 2026 National Youth Championship.
The tournament has started to take place from August 8 in Ha Tinh.
This year is the first time Pham Quynh Huong has participated in the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team to participate in the SEA V.Cup 2026 tournament.
She just won the title of Outstanding Assault Athlete at the 2026 National Youth Club Championship.
After stage 2 of the SEA V.Cup 2026, Pham Quynh Huong will return to Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports to train with coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and teammates of the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team.
Each team participating in the 2026 Asian Championship can register a maximum of 14 players.
Last year, Quynh Huong participated in the 2025 U21 World Championship.
Currently, she is one of the players with the best height of the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team (1m85).
Vietnam women's team leaves world top 30
On August 8, after losing to the Philippines team in stage 2 of the SEA V.Cup 2026, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team dropped 4 places in the FIVB world rankings.
At this time, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team had been relegated to 32nd place in the world.
Leaving the world top 30 is beyond the predictions of the coaching staff of the Vietnamese Women's Volleyball Team before participating in the 2 legs of the SEA V.Cup 2026.
Previously, after finishing the first leg of the SEA V.Cup 2026 Tournament in Dong Anh (Hanoi), the Vietnamese women's volleyball team rose to 27th place in the world.
However, because our team lost 2 consecutive matches (against Indonesia, Philippines), the accumulated points on the FIVB ranking have been deducted.
The Vietnamese women's volleyball team will play their 3rd match in stage 2 of the SEA V.Cup 2026 with the Thai team on August 9.
At the end of August, we will compete in the 2026 Asian Championship in China. This is a tournament with accumulated points on the FIVB ranking based on the performance of the teams.
