Coach Tran Dinh Tien has selected 14 athletes to participate in the AVC Nations Cup 2025 in Bahrain. The tournament will take place from June 17 to 24.
The 14 selected players are Nguyen Ngoc Thuan, Duong Van Tien, Quan Trong Nghia, Hoang Xuan Truong (main attackers); Nguyen Van Quoc Duy, Pham Quoc Du (opposite setter); Che Quoc Vo Liet, Tran Duy Tuyen, Truong The Khai, Nguyen Thanh Hai (middle blocker); Dinh Van Duy, Phan Cong Duc (second blocker); Trinh Duy Phuc, Cao Duc Hoang (libero).
Captain Pham Van Hiep will not join the Vietnam men's volleyball team to participate in this tournament. According to research, this setter has not yet fully recovered her physical strength after suffering a knee injury. Most likely, the coaching staff did not want Van Hiep to lose strength and wanted to keep him to prepare for important tournaments at the end of the year.
The replacement for Van Hiep at the AVC Nations Cup 2025 is player Hoang Xuan Truong.
The Vietnam men's volleyball team is actively practicing in Hanoi to prepare for the upcoming tournament in Bahrain.
AVC Nations Cup 2025 was preceded by AVC Challenge Cup. This is the third consecutive year that the Vietnam men's volleyball team has participated. The best achievement of the Vietnamese boys has ever been 4th place in 2023.
The upcoming tournament is the second international playground that coach Tran Dinh Tien and his team will participate in since their professional training in 2025. According to the draw results, Duy Tuyen and her teammates are in Group D with the Korean and New Zealand teams.
