Vietnam's U18 girls' volleyball team wins all group stage matches without losing a single set at the Southeast Asian championship

The Vietnam U18 women's volleyball team maintained their outstanding performance by beating Malaysia U18 3-0 (25-9, 25-15, 25-12) in the last Group B match of the 2026 Southeast Asian U18 Women's Volleyball Championship (23rd Princess Cup), thereby finishing the group stage with an undefeated record.

After two previous 3-0 victories against Kyrgyzstan and the Philippines, Vietnam U18 entered the match against Malaysia aiming to secure the top spot in the group. The gap in skill level was quickly demonstrated on court by coach Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Hoa's players.

Vietnam U18 dominated from the very first points of the opening set. Their effective serving, strong blocking, and diverse attacking plays allowed the Vietnamese representatives to easily win 25-9.

The game dynamic remained largely unchanged in the next two sets. Despite Malaysia's efforts to improve their defense, Vietnam U18 maintained a steady pace, fully controlled the game, and won 25-15 and 25-12 respectively, concluding the match in just three sets.

The 3-0 victory helped Vietnam U18 finish the group stage with a perfect record of three wins, securing a full 9 points without losing any set. This achievement highlights the dominance of the young Vietnamese volleyball team in Group B and provides a strong psychological boost ahead of the semi-finals.

The 2026 Southeast Asian U18 Women's Volleyball Championship (23rd Princess Cup) is being held in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, bringing together regional youth teams and several guest teams. This tournament is also seen as an important event for teams to assess their rosters and gain experience ahead of the 2026 Asian U18 Women's Volleyball Championship.

With their convincing performances since the start of the tournament, Vietnam U18 has emerged as one of the top contenders for the championship. If they continue to maintain their current form, coach Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Hoa's team can aim for a spot in the final and compete for the title.
