The reason why the Vietnam U21 volleyball team's results at the world tournament were canceled
The Vietnam U21 women's volleyball team is participating in the U21 Women's Volleyball World Championship in Indonesia. After the group stage, the young Vietnamese volleyball players achieved 4 wins and 1 loss, ranked second in Group A and won a ticket to the round of 16. However, FIVB has canceled the results of 4 matches of Vietnam U21 due to the use of an ineligible player (all were awarded a 0-3 loss). Therefore, Vietnam U21 is no longer in the top 4 teams and will participate in the group of 17-24 in the tournament.

Vietnam U21 women's volleyball team causes shock again at world tournament
Before the final match in Group A, U21 Vietnam suffered its first loss at the 2025 U21 Volleyball World Championship when facing Argentina. This was an early result predicted by the team from South America, ranked 8th in the world, which was rated much higher than the team of coach Nguyen Trong Linh.
In the final match of Group A, U21 Vietnam will face Puerto Rico - the 15th ranked team in the world. 10 places higher than Vietnam, Puerto Rico has an advantage in terms of physique and physical strength.
