The Philippines has never been considered a worthy opponent of Thailand in women's volleyball. Most of the matches between the two teams ended with Thailand winning 3 easy games.
But on the opening day of SEA V.League 2025, taking place in Thailand, the home team did not play up to their form.
The Filipino girls played extremely well in the first set, stunning Thailand with their powerful smashes and solid defense. The Philippines won the first set 25-17.
The second game was extremely tense, at one point Thailand was 6 points ahead of the Philippines, but then their complacency almost made them pay the price.
The Philippine women's volleyball team almost had a spectacular comeback against Thailand in this game when they led 24-23.
At the decisive moment, the Philippines had consecutive chances to end the game with at least 3 smashes to win the game. However, Thailand's libero played extremely well, saving the home team from a difficult situation.
Thailand won dramatically 26-24 in this game, then exploded in the third game when they won 25-20.
The fourth game was extremely exciting as Thailand took the lead early, while the Philippines chased fiercely. However, as the game progressed, Thailand proved their superiority to win 25-10.
In the end, the Thai women's volleyball team defeated the Philippines with a score of 3-1 in the opening match of SEA V.League 2025.
SEA V.League is not a tournament that Thai people pay much attention to. For a long time, Thai women's volleyball has reached the top level of the continent, even approaching the world level.
However, coach Kiattipong and his team need to play well in this tournament to prepare for the Women's Volleyball World Championship taking place from August 22, which Thailand will host.
The Thai women's volleyball team has not been in good form recently. They almost got relegated in the FIVB Nations League (VNL) 2025, and had to wait until the final round to overcome Korea to avoid the bottom spot.
Coming to SEA V.League, Coach Kiattipong brought almost his strongest squad. Only 2 pillars were absent because they had not recovered from injuries: Chatchuon and Wimonrat.
