Vietnam U21 women's volleyball star honored at world tournament

(Dan Tri) - 19-year-old Ha Kieu Vy was voted into the top 10 best athletes in a category at the 2025 U21 Women's Volleyball World Cup in Indonesia.

Accordingly, Ha Kieu Vy is in the group of 10 athletes with the best ball saving skills at the U21 Women's Volleyball World Cup, which took place in the archipelago country in recent days.

The libero (equivalent to the lowest center back position in the defense line in soccer) of the Vietnam U21 women's volleyball team had a total of 90 saves and 32 successful rebounds in the above tournament.

In addition, among the 10 best savers of the tournament, Ha Kieu Vy is the athlete who makes the fewest mistakes, with only 16 mistakes in a total of 8 matches played by the Vietnam U21 women's volleyball team (on average she only makes two mistakes/match).

The 8 matches of the Vietnam U21 women's volleyball team include 5 group stage matches, the 17-24 ranking match with the Egyptian U21 women's team, the 17-20 ranking match with Chile and the 19th place match with the Dominican Republic U21 women's team.

Ha Kieu Vy will turn 19 next month. She is 1m66 tall, which is not ideal for a volleyball player. With this height, Ha Kieu Vy does not have an advantage when attacking or blocking the ball at the net.

However, because she plays in the libero position, standing only at the back of the court, height is not a big problem for Ha Kieu Vy.

With the excellence of this 19-year-old girl at the recent U21 World Cup, Vietnamese women's volleyball now has two very good liberos including Nguyen Khanh Dang (currently playing for the national team) and Ha Kieu Vy (national U21).
