Volleyball match schedule today 16/12

(Volleyball schedule) - Vietnam volleyball will meet the host Thailand again at SEA Games 33, this time competing in the men's event.

Today, 16/12, the final group stage matches will take place in the men's indoor volleyball event at SEA Games 33. The highlight will be the highly anticipated match between Vietnam and Thailand, competing for the top spot in Group A.

The group leader will likely avoid facing the defending gold medalist Indonesia in the semifinals, making this a crucial match for both teams. The Philippines is also strong, but Indonesia is clearly more dangerous.

Additionally, the Vietnamese men's volleyball team has extra motivation to defeat Thailand after the women's team suffered a very narrow loss to the hosts in the final on the evening of 15/12. Notably, in their two meetings at this year's SEA V.League, coach Trần Đình Tiền's squad won both times.

Another notable match is between Indonesia and the Philippines, where Boy Arnez and his teammates are favored to top Group B. The match between Laos and Singapore will only determine rankings as both teams have no chance to advance to the semifinals.
