Vietnam women's volleyball team seeks victory against African champions

(Dan Tri) - The Vietnamese women's volleyball team will face Kenya at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon (August 27). This is the final match of the two teams at the 2025 World Championship, so both sides will be determined to win.

Before this year's world championship took place in Thailand, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team had a friendly match with the Kenyan women's team in Hanoi.

In that match, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team won 4-0 (the two teams decided to play 4 sets, instead of just playing until one side won the 3rd set, like in official matches). However, in that match, it is very likely that both sides were hiding their cards.

Therefore, the reunion between the Vietnamese and Kenyan women's teams at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon will be completely different.

Kenya had a win against the world's third-ranked team Poland on August 25 (Kenya lost 1-3 in the end), at the world championship, similar to what the Vietnamese women's volleyball team did on August 23.

In addition, Kenya is also the 2023 African women's volleyball champion. They are ranked 23rd in the world, just one place behind the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. That reflects the level of the two women's teams of Vietnam and Kenya, which is almost the same.

Notable faces on the Kenyan women's team are Veronica Adhiambo and Meldinah Sande. Among them, Veronica Adhiambo scored 18 points in the match against Poland two days ago.

Veronica Adhiambo's 18 points included 15 offensive points, two from successful blocks and one from a winning serve.

This girl will be the hitter on the Kenyan women's team that Thanh Thuy, Nhu Quynh, Khanh Dang on the Vietnamese women's volleyball team must pay attention to.

The Vietnamese women's volleyball team once set the expectation of having at least one win at the 2025 World Championship. Currently, the match with the Kenyan women's team is the best chance for us to realize this expectation.
