After a 0-3 defeat to Vietnam on the opening day of the 2025 AVC Nations Cup, the Hong Kong team entered the second match against India with a heavy mentality.
That caused the girls in white to make 14 errors in the first two sets, allowing their opponents to take a 2-0 lead.
But that was also the time when the Hong Kong girls played as if they had nothing to lose. The excellent performance of the main striker duo WL Chim and captain YC Yu became the fulcrum to help the white team complete a comeback with a score of 3-2 (22-25, 18-25, 25-15, 25-21, 18-16) on the evening of June 8 at Dong Anh Stadium, Hanoi .
This is considered the most exciting and dramatic match of the AVC Nations Cup 2025 as of the end of the second day of competition. After the decisive score brought victory, the Hong Kong girls were so happy that they burst into tears. The coaching staff and athletes celebrated as if they had just won the championship!
In fact, Hong Kong has always been considered a weak team in Asian tournaments. They have difficulty competing with regional teams and are often in the "red light" group. In the most recent tournament, the AVC Challenge Cup 2024, Hong Kong ranked 8th out of 10 participating teams.
With a courageous 3-2 victory over India, the Hong Kong women's volleyball team rose to third place in Group A.
However, the chance for the Hong Kong team to compete for a semi-final spot is still very difficult. However, the impressive comeback helps captain YC Yu and his teammates play more confidently in the remaining journey at the AVC Nations Cup 2025.
