VFV appeals FIBV's penalty, affirms that U.21 Vietnam did not commit any violations: Asking for competent authorities to intervene

A serious incident just happened to U.21 Vietnam at the U.21 Volleyball World Cup.

Regarding the case of athletes at the 2025 U.21 Women's Volleyball World Cup, Vietnam has issued a press release.

On the morning of August 13, the Vietnam Volleyball Federation (VFV) officially informed about the incident related to the decision of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) regarding the case of an athlete who was deemed ineligible to participate in the 2025 Women's U.21 World Volleyball Championship in Indonesia.

The only match in the group stage that U.21 Vietnam was not penalized for losing

VFV emphasized: "VFV affirms that it has complied with FIVB regulations on athlete registration procedures as well as submitted complete athlete documents to FIVB before the tournament.

This file has been reviewed and approved by FIVB, allowing the athlete to compete. However, the FIVB decision on the athlete's ineligibility was made based on the request for additional documents and some conditions for the athlete on August 12.

These are conditions that have never been regulated before. Therefore, VFV is making an official complaint according to FIVB procedures, and is coordinating with competent Vietnamese authorities to clarify and protect the rights of athletes as well as the reputation of Vietnamese volleyball. VFV hopes that the media and the public will receive objective information and support the Vietnam U.21 women's volleyball team."
