Pre-match information
The highlight of the final day of competition at AVC Cup 2026 is the rematch between the Vietnamese women's volleyball team and Kazakhstan in the final third-place match.
After a 0-3 defeat to South Korea in the semi-finals, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's team is facing the opportunity to close the tournament with a bronze medal.
Notably, Kazakhstan is the opponent who defeated Vietnam 3-2 in the group stage. Therefore, this reunion is an opportunity for Thanh Thuy and her teammates to reclaim their debt, and at the same time bring positive results before saying goodbye to the journey at the AVC Cup 2026.
However, this is not an easy challenge for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team, especially when the team is facing some problems in force and tactics. The absence of a quality opposite hitter more or less prevents the team from deploying their forte.
At the same time, the dense schedule also affects the fitness of the players, forcing the coaching staff to have appropriate adjustment plans.
