Pre-match information
At the 2024 Asian U20 Men's Volleyball Championship, the Vietnam U20 team did not achieve the expected results as they failed to make it into the top 8 teams to compete for a spot in the 2025 U21 World Championship finals.
After the second round, coach Hoang Van Phuong's team had to compete in the ranking group. In the 13-16 ranking match, Ngoc Dat and his teammates did not face much difficulty against U20 Kuwait. The young players of Vietnam U20 always held the initiative in the sets.
They won convincingly in the first two sets with scores of 25-14 and 25-16, respectively. In the third set, U20 Kuwait played more steadily and chased fiercely, but with consistent performance and adherence to the coach's tactics, Vietnam U20 won 27-25, thus winning 3-0 overall to advance to the 13th place match.
The opponent of coach Hoang Van Phuong's team is U20 Bangladesh. This team just faced U20 Qatar, who were rated the lowest in this year's tournament. Therefore, U20 Bangladesh also did not take much time to defeat U20 Qatar with a score of 3-0.
