Most readers of Tuoi Tre newspaper were shocked by this information. Reader Tuong commented: "The story is so real it sounds like a joke, unbelievable."

Sao Xet readers asked many questions: "What is happening? Do we deserve this to happen?".

This reaction is understandable because in less than 24 hours, the Vietnam U21 women's volleyball team had just finished the group stage with a win against Puerto Rico.

Not only the athletes but also the fans are happy with the second place result, ready to face strong teams in the next rounds.

But then the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) made a surprising announcement, canceling the results of 4 matches of Vietnam and pushing us to the bottom of the table.

Regarding the issue of athletes not being qualified to compete, readers are also very concerned. What most readers wonder is the real problem? And are there any measures to protect Vietnamese athletes?

Reader Dang Phong expressed his opinion: "To discipline, there must be sufficient evidence, not just a cursory judgment like that!"

Reader named Dong expressed: "Why didn't they determine the eligibility of this athlete from the beginning of the tournament? They ended the group stage with second place and then canceled the results. This is too much of a loss for the U21 players."

Some readers called on everyone to stay calm, wait for further developments, and take the best measures to support and protect the athletes. Some other readers made additional requests to the Vietnam Volleyball Federation (VFV) regarding this matter.

Lao Gia also called for: "Not only complaints but also lawsuits against FIVB if the Vietnam Volleyball Federation thinks it is right. This is the honor of the entire country's sports , not the result of a tournament."
