Vietnam is close to Thailand on the world volleyball rankings. The girls of Vietnam Tel can surpass the opponent in the same region right after the first round of the 2025 World Championship tonight, August 22.
In SEA V.League 2025, Vietnam, despite defeating Thailand but did not get points for the World Volleyball Federation (FIVB), regulates that the regional tournament does not calculate the regional tournament with a team that has attended the FIVB Nations League (VNL). Not only the defeat of Vietnam in the second stage, Thailand did not receive any score for the previous 5 matches throughout the Sea V.League 2025 season.
But in the world championship, all matches will be recorded in the score and ranking of FIVB will also be updated continuously.
On the eve of the world championship, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team has climbed the highest ranking in history – ranked 22th with 155.79 points, only one step less than Thailand – 21 with 160.42 points.
Due to the weight of the world championship, this ranking can completely turn up after the first round. Specifically, the application formula for calculating the current score of FIVB, Thailand is likely to be deducted at least 13.12 points if lost to Egypt with a score of 2-3 in the launch round.
This minus level will be 16.25 if they lose 1-3, and up to 19.37 if they lose 0-3. The reason Thailand was deducted so heavy points was because Egypt was very low – ranked 54 with 54.62 points.
In the case of winning Egypt, Thailand is only plus up to 5.63 points for 3-0 winning results, and only 0.01 points (symbolic) if won 3-2. Jews played first, on August 22, while Vietnam came later, on August 23, Thailand could fall under Vietnam if he lost to Egypt.
Vietnam will meet Poland (3rd place in the world, 365.17 points) in the opening match, so it will not face the worries to eliminate points because the opponent is too strong.
Even if there is a loss for Poland 0-3, Vietnam is only deducted 1.7 points. And if you lose 1-3 or 2-3, the minus point is only 0.01. In case of winning Poland, Vietnam will receive a minimum score of 17.05, and up to 23.3 points if winning 3 white games.
Of course, if you look at the distance between the two teams and Poland at a different level compared to Vietnam. This may be the first time in history, Vietnamese women's volleyball girls have risen to the number one position in Southeast Asia. Coach and coach Tuan Kiet is trying to get the best results on the day of the launch.
