With the most trained technical platform in the world, Japanese young volleyball always dominates most young tournaments in Asia whether it is male or female content. This has continued to be confirmed in the U18 South Asia.
Accordingly, despite facing the home team and also an Iranian rival in the U18 South Asian final, Japan with young star Hiroki Bito had an impressive 3-0 victory.
The strong victory against young Iranian boys helped the Japanese “hotboy volleyboy” to have the 3rd consecutive championship this tournament. This year, Japanese young volleyball has just won two Asian Young Awards for women not long ago.
With this championship, the U18 Japan will join Iran, India and South Korea to win a ticket to the U19 Men's Volleyball Championship in the World 2023.
Earlier, in the third match, Indian U18 made a shock when overcoming a very strong opponent was Korea after 5 checks to win the bronze medal for the first time in his history after 14 years.
The last time the Indian male volleyball has gained this achievement since 2008 after surpassing China at the tournament held in Sri Lanka.
The only representative of Southeast Asia attending this tournament is the U18 Thailand Men's Volleyball team. In the end, Thai young volleyball has a 3-1 victory over Kuwait to finish the tournament in 7th place.
