The Vietnam Volleyball Federation (VFV) has issued a ban against outside hitter Dang Thi Hong, who was involved in a controversy at the U21 World Championship in August, but has not disclosed the reason.
Thailand, Japan, and China have all secured spots in the round of 16, while Vietnam is out of the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship after the group stage.
Viewing the world championship as a learning opportunity, Vietnam's captain Tran Thi Thanh Thuy expressed satisfaction with the team's performance in their opening match against Poland on the evening of 23/8.
Vietnam stunned Poland by winning the first set but ultimately fell to the world number three team in their opening match of Pool G on Wednesday night.
Opposite hitter Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen has withdrawn from the Vietnam women's national volleyball team for the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship due to family reasons.
