This will be a very useful match for Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen and her teammates. Because Kenya is also an opponent in Group G with Vietnam at the 2025 World Cup, along with two other big names, Poland and Germany.

The African team is no stranger to coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team. Two years ago, Kenya defeated the Vietnamese women's volleyball team 2-0 in a friendly match in France at the FIVB Challenge.

Kenya is considered the most suitable opponent for the Vietnamese girls in Group G. Currently, according to the rankings of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), the Vietnamese team is ranked 22nd, while Kenya is ranked 23rd.

Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet said that the Women's Volleyball World Championship has the participation of all the world's top teams. Therefore, the Vietnamese team participated in the tournament with the goal of learning and gaining more skills and experience.

"There is no pressure to achieve results at the world tournament, but the Vietnamese team also has its own goal: each individual player can maximize their ability when competing on the field. The Vietnamese team is fortunate to have a generation of players at the peak of their careers, who understand each other both on the field and in life. They have made commendable progress over the past 2 years and have achieved certain international achievements. The whole team will make the greatest effort at the world tournament to gain momentum in training to prepare for the most important goal in 2025, which is to compete for the gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games in December in Thailand," coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet shared.
