SEA Games 33 Women's Volleyball Final Schedule: Vietnam vs. Thailand

VHO - At 5:30 PM this afternoon, December 15th, in Bangkok (Thailand), the Vietnamese women's indoor volleyball team will play the SEA Games 33 women's indoor volleyball final against host nation Thailand.

A tough challenge

On their way to the final, both the Vietnamese and Thai women's teams displayed impressive form, winning all their matches without losing a single set.

The Vietnamese women's team will face their biggest challenge in the final.

In the semi-finals, the Vietnamese women's team easily defeated the Philippines 3-0, while Thailand did the same against Indonesia.

In recent matches between the two teams, Thailand has consistently held the upper hand but often struggles to secure victories.

Even in their most recent encounter, the Thai players suffered a 2-3 defeat in the final of the second leg of the SEA V.League 2025, despite leading 2-0.

However, that historic victory took place in Vietnam, and the team had opposite hitter Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen, who scored 45 points in the final match.

In this rematch, the Thai team has the home advantage and the support of their fans, while the Vietnamese women's team will be without Bich Tuyen.

This is not just a competition for the gold medal, but also the biggest challenge for Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team in their journey to conquer the regional peak – where Thailand has long been considered the most insurmountable "mountain" in Southeast Asian women's volleyball.

Make your best effort

Playing on home soil, possessing a well-balanced squad, rich international experience, and proven composure in numerous SEA Games, the Thai women's team entered the match as the favorites.

They are not only strong professionally but also have a significant psychological advantage, having become accustomed to the pressure of crucial matches.

The Vietnamese girls are expected to spring a surprise against Thailand.

The key for the Vietnamese women's team in the final lies in their mental stability and ability to maintain a high level of performance.

Against an opponent with diverse attacking capabilities and a solid defense like Thailand, minimizing individual errors and making the most of crucial moments in each set will be decisive.

In addition, teamwork, mutual support on the field, and belief in the coaching staff's tactics will be crucial pillars for the team to withstand pressure from the stands and opponents.

This afternoon's final will be a test of character, where dreams are weighed against harsh reality.

And regardless of the outcome, the image of the Vietnamese girls fighting until the very last points will surely leave a lasting impression on the fans.
