In Group A, the Vietnam U21 women's team played 5 matches, including a 3-0 win over Indonesia, 3-1 over Serbia, Canada and Puerto Rico, and a 1-3 loss to Argentina.

This result helped coach Nguyen Trong Linh and his team finish the group stage with 12 points after 4 wins and 1 loss, ranking second after Argentina and winning the right to enter the round of 16 strongest teams in their first time participating in the tournament.

According to the round of 16, Vietnam U21 women's team (second place in group A) will meet the third place team in group C, Türkiye U21 women's team.

Falling into the "death group" with strong opponents such as Poland, Italy, Czech Republic, Türkiye U21 women's team won 3 matches and lost 2 matches.

In particular, the 3-2 victory over the reigning runner-up Italy this morning, August 12, helped U21 Türkiye win 3rd place in Group C.

Turkey U21 (ranked 5th in the world ) will be a huge challenge for Vietnam U21 women's team (ranked 25th in the world). This team is also ranked higher than Argentina (ranked 7th in the world), the only team that defeated Vietnam U21 women's team in Group A.

In the most recent tournament in 2023, Türkiye U21 ranked 5th overall.

Türkiye U21 promises to be a huge challenge for coach Nguyen Trong Linh and his team, but with their rising form and determination, Vietnam U21 women's team is expected to create a surprise.

The match between Vietnam U21 women's team and Türkiye U21 team in the round of 16 of the 2025 Women's U21 Volleyball World Cup will take place at 10:00 tomorrow morning, August 13.
