In set 2, the Vietnamese women's team won 15-8. In the deciding set, despite being down 5-2, the Vietnamese girls scored 7 consecutive points to lead 9-5, before winning 15-7.

Defeating Thailand 2-1 (12-15, 15-8, 15-7), the Vietnamese women's team won the gold medal in the 4-women team event.

Thus, the Vietnamese girls have paid off the debt of losing to Thailand in the final last year.

In the men's 4-man team event, Vietnam also reached the final but lost to the Japanese men's team and received a silver medal.

At the end of the 2025 World Sepak Takraw Championship, Vietnamese Sepak Takraw won a total of 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals and 2 bronze medals.
