The AVC Nations Cup 2025 men's volleyball volleyball has ended with finding the new new king as the Bahrain home team. Pakistan closed the tournament with the runner -up position, Qatar ranked 3 and South Korea had a position in the top 4.
Meanwhile, representatives from Southeast Asia closed the tournament with disappointing results. Indonesia ranked 6th, Vietnam ranked 8th, Thailand ranked 9th and the Philippines ranked 10th.
This year, AVC Nations Cup 2025 only had 11 teams attending. In which many teams significantly decreased strength compared to themselves last season such as Qatar, Taipei China, Korea …
Therefore, the modest ranking of Southeast Asian representatives makes many people surprised and disappointed. Only two representatives reached the quarterfinals and both lost in the class.
Even the former Thai champion could not reach the quarterfinals. They and the Philippines only won against the weak team, New Zealand to avoid the final position of the two.
This was the second consecutive year the teams of the Asian volleyball “low -lying” could not reach the semi -finals. Compared to the 2023 season when Thailand won the championship, Vietnam ranked 4, the last two seasons were too much down of these teams.
Without strong investment and reform, it is difficult for Southeast Asian volleyball teams to improve their rankings in the continental arena.
