After the runner-up achievement in stage 1, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team returned to their home stadium Ninh Binh to welcome regional opponents in stage 2 of SEA V-League 2025. In the opening match, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team met the Philippines.

In the first leg, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team easily won 3-1 against the Philippines. However, when facing this opponent again at home, Bich Tuyen and her teammates cannot be complacent.

In fact, despite losing in the first round, the Philippines still knew how to create difficulties for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. The Philippines not only has good physique, but also has good physical strength.

In addition, continuously meeting the Vietnamese women's volleyball team at the AVC Nations Cup (June), VTV Cup 2025 (July), and the first stage of the SEA V-League (August) helps the Philippine athletes understand their opponents better.

However, according to experts, if they play at their full potential, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will win to have a favorable start in stage 2.

In addition to the cheers of the audience, the Vietnamese girls are well prepared both professionally and mentally. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet is likely to rotate the players to save the strength of the pillars as well as give opportunities to the athletes who do not have much time to compete.

In the recently finalized roster, the captain of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team replaced Libero Ninh Anh with main attacker Nguyen Thi Phuong. In the opening match, against a "tough" opponent, the 26-year-old hitter will likely be able to enter the field.

The Vietnam vs Philippines women's volleyball match will take place at 7pm on August 8, before the match between Thailand vs Indonesia (4pm).
