The main striker Dang Thi Hong, who was called up to the national team for the first time, was given a starting position alongside Vi Thi Nhu Quynh, Nguyen Thi Tra My, Nguyen Thi Trinh, Dinh Thi Tra Giang, setter Kim Thoa and libero Le Thi Yen.

Before the match, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team paid tribute to the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
