WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2025 SCHEDULE TODAY 23/8

Today (August 23), the Vietnam women's volleyball team will officially start their campaign at the 2025 World Championship with an opening match against Poland in Group G. The game is scheduled for 20:30 and promises to be a significant challenge for coach Nguyễn Tuấn Kiệt’s squad.

Poland currently ranks 3rd in the world standings, while Vietnam is placed 22nd. The 19-rank gap clearly highlights the differences in skill level, experience, and physical stature between the two teams. Unfortunately, Vietnam will be without their key attacker Nguyễn Thị Bích Tuyền, who often carries the responsibility of scoring in major matches.

Nevertheless, the Vietnamese team has shown determination and thorough preparation ahead of the tournament. The entire squad aims to play with dedication, not intimidated by stronger opponents, and plans to implement new tactical strategies to overcome weaknesses. This also provides a chance for younger players to demonstrate their resilience, gain valuable experience, and prove their abilities on the world stage.

The 2025 Women's Volleyball World Championship (FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship) is the most prestigious tournament at the national team level, taking place from August 22 to September 7 across four cities: Bangkok, Chiangmai, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Phuket in Thailand. The competition features 32 top teams divided into 8 groups as follows:

• Group A: Thailand (host), Netherlands, Sweden, Egypt
• Group B: Italy, Belgium, Cuba, Slovakia
• Group C: Brazil (defending runner-up), Puerto Rico, France, Greece
• Group D: USA, Czech Republic, Argentina, Slovenia
• Group E: Turkey, Canada, Bulgaria, Spain
• Group F: China, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Mexico
• Group G: Vietnam, Poland, Kenya, Germany
• Group H: Japan, Serbia (defending champion), Ukraine, Cameroon

The 2025 World Championship marks a historic moment for Vietnamese women's volleyball as it is their first participation in this prestigious event. Coach Nguyễn Tuấn Kiệt’s team earned their ticket to Thailand by finishing in the top 4 at the 2023 Asian Championship.

The reigning world champion is Serbia, who triumphed 3-0 over Brazil in 2022. Serbia’s star player Tijana Bošković is the current MVP of the tournament.
