Stage 1 of SEA V.League 2025 takes place from July 9 to 13 in the Philippines, the Vietnamese men's team will face Cambodia, Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. The teams will compete in a round-robin format, calculating rankings.
The opponent of the Vietnamese men's team (ranked 61st in the world ) is the host team Philippines (ranked 67th in the world). In SEA V.League 2024, Coach Tran Dinh Tien's students lost both matches against their opponents.
The Vietnamese team did not start well in set 1 when the players often made mistakes in passing the ball, making the play incoherent and incoherent.
Meanwhile, the Philippines showed that they had prepared very well for this tournament, the home players exploited many first-pass errors of Vietnam to have a 25-17 victory in set 1.
In set 2, coach Tran Dinh Tien decided to send setter Pham Van Hiep onto the field and the Vietnamese men's team's play also improved somewhat.
The two teams fought for each point, until the score was 24-23, the Philippines had a good blocking situation and organized a counterattack to score, bringing the home team a 25-23 victory.
Set 3 was also quite tense, however the Philippines was better at blocking and they completed the victory 25-19.
After a 0-3 defeat on the opening day, coach Tran Dinh Tien and his players still have a lot of work to do if they want to compete for medals in stage 1.
In the second match tomorrow, July 10, the Vietnamese team will face Cambodia, a team participating in the SEA V.League for the first time.
