The atmosphere at Vinh Phuc Stadium (Phu Tho) has been "hot" in recent days from the gate to the stadium thanks to the VTV Cup 2025 international women's volleyball tournament.
The fact that the organizers sell tickets every day has caused the image of long lines of fans lining up from early morning to buy tickets to watch matches during the day to appear every morning.
The audience's attention has caused many previous group stage matches to always take place in a passionate atmosphere.
The lines of people waiting patiently to buy tickets, the red lines of fans in the stands... all showed the strong influence of this year's tournament.
Today (July 3), the tournament continues with the quarter-final matches. The heat continued to increase as the highlight match was the confrontation between two representatives of Vietnam, the national women's team and the Vietnam U21 team.
Although they are all the home team, the match is still competitive because each team has its own stars and colors.
For the Vietnam women's volleyball team, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet brought to this year's tournament a team of experienced players, with familiar names such as captain Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, Bich Tuyen, Le Thanh Thuy, Nguyen Thi Trinh...
The strength of the entire team has been proven by three wins in the group stage, continuing with the top spot in Group A. Despite constant rotation of the squad, the Vietnam women's volleyball team still achieved efficiency in playing style and results.
Meanwhile, U21 Vietnam impressed with their fast, creative and youthful playing style. Players like Dang Thi Hong, Nhu Quynh, Quynh Huong... had the opportunity to show themselves in front of their seniors.
The competition between the two teams is not only a useful test for the young players but also an opportunity for fans to witness the ability of the two most talented generations of Vietnamese women's volleyball at present.
Mr. Nguyen Trung Kien (Vinh Yen, Phu Tho) said: "I have been watching women's volleyball for a long time and the VTV Cup is still a tournament that I have always been looking forward to.
Because Vinh Phuc Stadium is not too far away, I can go by motorbike, so I have arranged the time to come here so as not to miss the exciting matches, especially the competition between the two Vietnamese representatives today".
In addition to the attraction from expertise, it is the thoughtfulness in organization, security, logistics... and the warm affection of local audiences that are factors that help VTV Cup 2025 become a real sports festival in recent days.
For fans, VTV Cup 2025 is not only a sports tournament but also an opportunity to introduce the beauty of local culture to international players, while bringing volleyball closer to the people and fans.
