ASEAN Grand Prix 2022 is the last international tournament this year in Southeast Asia, so the participating women's volleyball teams all appoint their strongest squad to attend the Philippines.
Just a friendly tournament, each team played 3 matches but the total expected bonus amounted to 70,000 USD, so the teams wanted to have good achievements. In addition to bonuses, it is also the position in the regional volleyball village.
The Vietnam and Thailand women's volleyball teams have the strongest squad for this year. Coach and coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet kept the 4th squad at AVC Cup at the next tournament.
Meanwhile, the Philippine women's volleyball team will not send a national team to participate in this tournament. Accordingly, the Philippine squad is still the Creamline Club, the team has just represented the island nation at AVC Cup 2022.
In the newly announced squad, the No. 1 Philippine Airssa Valdez, who belongs to this club's payroll, did not participate even though she still and his teammates went to Thailand to attend this tournament.
The reason is that Tran Thi Thanh Thuy's former teammate has just been hospitalized. She was only hospitalized a few days ago and was not guaranteed enough physical strength to play with her teammates.
With the current squad, representatives of the Philippines are likely to not be able to win at this tournament. Earlier, at the 31st SEA Games, even the Philippine national team with the star Santiago was only 4th in the tournament.
