Vietnam defeats Thailand, defends women's sepak takraw gold at ASIAD

Defeating arch-rival Thailand two-one in the women's four-person sepak takraw final, Vietnam secured its championship title at ASIAD 2026.

The rematch between Vietnam and Thailand on the morning of 3/10 in Nagoya proved dramatic. Coach Tran Thi Vui's players entered the match confidently, having already defeated this opponent two-zero in the group stage.

In set one, the synergy between Tran Thi Ngoc Yen and Nguyen Thi Yen allowed Vietnam to quickly take control. Ngoc Yen's aerial skill, tight net blocks, and precise finishes countered the opponent's efforts, securing a 15-11 victory.

In set two, Thailand intensified its attack and altered tactics with powerful, tricky serves. The intense struggle continued until the final points. Thailand demonstrated resilience in the decisive moment, narrowly winning 17-15.

In the decisive set three, the reigning Asian champions demonstrated their resilience. Timely tactical adjustments and psychological support from the coaching staff helped the Vietnamese players regain confidence. The team effectively capitalized on counter-attack opportunities, consistently maintaining a lead. Securing the final point at 14-11, Vietnam thwarted Thailand's comeback hopes, sealing the two-one overall victory.

This gold medal underscores the strength of Vietnam's women's sepak takraw at this year's games. Throughout the tournament, the team displayed impressive form. They successively defeated India, Thailand, and the Philippines in the group stage with identical two-zero scores. They then overcame host Japan in the semifinals before once again prevailing over Thailand in the final.

This marks the second sepak takraw gold medal at ASIAD 2026. On 29/9, the trio Nguyen Thi Thu Trang, Le Thi Hong Lien, and Nguyen Thi Khanh Ly secured the women's doubles title, defeating the Philippines in their final match.

This victory brings the Vietnam Sports Delegation's total gold medal count to three, with sepak takraw contributing two.
