Bich Tuyen wrote a letter asking to withdraw from the Vietnam volleyball team: 'I have considered carefully...'

Bich Tuyen's feelings

In the letter, Bich Tuyen wrote: "Hello everyone. First of all, Tuyen would like to send her sincere thanks to the fans who have always followed, accompanied and supported Tuyen and the Vietnamese women's volleyball team.

Winning the second round of SEA V.League is a testament to her relentless efforts and a dream that has come true. The historic victory over Thailand will be the most beautiful memory in Tuyen's career.

Today, Tuyen would like to announce that she will not participate in the upcoming world championship. This is a decision that Tuyen has carefully considered and received respect from the coaching staff and the Vietnam Volleyball Federation. The reason Tuyen made this decision is not because of a lack of desire to compete, but because of new requirements from the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) regarding the competition conditions of athletes."

Bich Tuyen shared: "For Tuyen, sports are not only about competition but also about respect and fairness. Tuyen feels that these regulations are not transparent and lack the necessary fairness for athletes. Tuyen believes that every athlete deserves to compete in an environment of respect and equality.

To protect my personal integrity and avoid unnecessary risks for the team, Tuyen has decided to withdraw. Tuyen will spend this time focusing on training, preparing for future tournaments. Tuyen believes that with the best preparation, the Vietnamese team will still compete with all their might and achieve new successes. Once again, Tuyen would like to thank everyone. Tuyen hopes to continue to support her teammates in the upcoming tournament."

On August 20, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will leave for Thailand. According to the schedule of the 2025 Women's Volleyball World Championship, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team is in Group A (competing in Phuket, Thailand), meeting Poland (ranked third in the world, August 23), Germany (ranked 11, August 25), and Kenya (August 27).
