Vietnam women's volleyball team participating in world tournament: Expectations for Thanh Thuy and Kieu Trinh

The Vietnamese women's team going to Thailand this time has 13 players, of which setter Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen is absent due to personal reasons.

The players include main attackers: Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, Vi Thi Nhu Quynh, Nguyen Thi Uyen, Nguyen Thi Phuong; middle attackers: Nguyen Thi Trinh, Tran Thi Bich Thuy, Le Thanh Thuy, Pham Thi Hien; opposite setter: Hoang Thi Kieu Trinh; setters: Doan Thi Lam Oanh, Vo Thi Kim Thoa; liberos: Nguyen Khanh Dang, Nguyen Thi Ninh Anh.

This is the force that has helped Vietnamese women's volleyball win many impressive achievements in the international arena in recent times.

After Bich Tuyen withdrew, the Vietnamese women's team will enter the 2025 World Championship with great hope placed on the shoulders of Tran Thi Thanh Thuy - the team's captain, spiritual leader and main scorer.

In fact, this is not the first time Thanh Thuy has shouldered a heavy responsibility. Throughout 2023, she was the most dangerous striker of the Vietnamese team, contributing greatly to a series of historic matches, including twice defeating Korea - the team that had dominated the continent for many years.

With extensive experience and proven courage, Thanh Thuy continues to be the biggest hope of fans in the journey to conquer the biggest tournament on the planet.

Meanwhile, Kieu Trinh's opposite setter position also received a lot of expectations in the absence of Bich Tuyen.

Kieu Trinh is the only player on the team playing the opposite position at the 2025 World Championship. It is both pressure and an opportunity for her to show herself.

At the 2025 World Championship, the Vietnamese women's team (ranked 22nd in the world ) is in Group G with opponents Poland (ranked 3rd in the world), Germany (ranked 11th in the world) and Kenya (ranked 23rd in the world).

According to the schedule, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team will have their first match against Poland on August 23, Germany on August 25 and Kenya on August 27.
