Although 4 places higher than their opponents in the world rankings, the Thai team was still considered to be lower than Sweden. However, with the support of nearly 10,000 home fans, the Thai girls played explosively.

In the match against Sweden, Coach Kiattipong continued to use the same squad that brought a 3-1 victory over Egypt, such as Chatchu-on, Thatdao, Pimpichaya, Sasipapron, Pornpun. Against the tall and strong hitters of Sweden, the Thai team still deployed a diverse and effective attack while organizing a good defense. Setter Pornpun showed his understanding with his teammates with sharp passes, helping Pimpichaya score consecutively for the Thai team.

Sweden's chances of reaching the next round of the 2025 Women's Volleyball World Cup ended after losing to host Thailand.
