Ahead of the SEA Games, Mr. Somporn Usibangyang, Chairman of the Thai Volleyball Association, visited and encouraged the two domestic men's and women's volleyball teams of Thailand. With the home advantage, both teams are given the highest goal of winning the gold medal.
As for the Thai women's volleyball team, their expectations are even higher as they have won the SEA Games gold medal 14 times in a row. According to a survey result by KBU Sport, over 86% of Thai fans believe that the Thai women's volleyball team will win the gold medal at home.
"The team is now perfect in every aspect, especially the women's team. All athletes have returned from abroad to practice with the team. Everyone's physical strength is good, and the training atmosphere of the whole team is very positive. The injured players have also returned to the field. The women's team aims to win the gold medal, while the men's team also hopes to win the championship.
The SEA Games champion will also receive a place to participate in the ASEAN Asian Volleyball Championship. I would like to reiterate that the Thai volleyball team will do their best to maintain their pride in ASEAN class at this SEA Games.
As for the men's team, Cambodia will not participate in the tournament, so we need to adjust the schedule for Group B. We hope the team will qualify for the final round and win the gold medal. Our key players, who were injured before, have now fully recovered and will play better than last year. We hope the men's team will win the championship, like the women's team," said the President of the Thai Volleyball Association.
As for the Thai women's volleyball team, they have called up the strongest possible squad to participate in the SEA Games. They have also elected the executive committee, accordingly, hitter Chatchu-on Moksri was elected as captain. Ahead of the SEA Games, Chatchu said that the training atmosphere of the Thai women's volleyball team is very good. The whole team is determined to win the gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games.
The hope of the Thai women's volleyball team is increased when the main opponent, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team, does not have the strongest force. For various reasons, opposite Bich Tuyen will not participate in the SEA Games. Bich Tuyen was a key factor in helping the Vietnamese women's volleyball team beat Thailand at the 2025 SEA V.League.
The draw for the 33rd SEA Games women's volleyball tournament puts the host team Thailand in Group A with the Philippines and Singapore. While Group B includes the Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar and Malaysia women's volleyball teams.
