How excellent was Bich Tuyen before leaving the Vietnamese women's volleyball team?

Right before the 2025 Women's Volleyball World Championship, Vietnam's No. 1 hitter Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen suddenly withdrew due to personal reasons.

The Vietnam Volleyball Federation (VFV) announced that on August 20, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will leave for Phuket - Thailand to participate in the Women's Volleyball World Championship (from August 22 to September 7) without key scorer Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen. "For personal reasons, athlete Bich Tuyen has expressed her wish not to participate in this competition. VFV and the coaching board respect the athlete's decision. We affirm that Bich Tuyen is always an important member and always welcome her return to contribute to the national team in the future when she is ready," VFV said.

Bich Tuyen's bold marks

In the past 2 years, Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen has been the biggest hope of Vietnamese women's volleyball. With a height of 1.88 m, good jumping ability and outstanding attacking power, the girl born in 2000 has continuously carried the team's attack. The most unforgettable mark is that Bich Tuyen contributed greatly to helping the Vietnamese women's volleyball team defeat Thailand for the first time, ending the absolute dominance of the golden temple team in Southeast Asia. That victory also opened a historical milestone, which was the first time the Vietnamese women's volleyball team won a SEA V.League stage.

Specifically, in the "final" match against Thailand in the second round of SEA V.League 2025, Bich Tuyen scored 45 points. The 25-year-old hitter was voted the best opposite setter and the most comprehensive athlete of the round.

Previously, Bich Tuyen also won the silver medal at SEA Games 31 with the Vietnamese team, won the AVC Challenge Cup 2024 and won the bronze medal at FIVB Challenge Cup 2024.

Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen's withdrawal right before the world championship is a big loss for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team.

In a high-level playground like the World Championship, Vietnam must rely more on collective play, the mobility of young players and the tactical organization of the coaching staff.

What plan will Vietnam women's volleyball team have to replace Bich Tuyen at the world tournament?
