Leg 1 of the 2026 Women's SEA V.Cup officially kicks off at the Dong Anh Gymnasium, Hanoi, with the participation of four teams: Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The teams play a single round-robin, and the team with the most points will be crowned champion of the leg.
The opening match at 16:00 is the clash between Indonesia and Thailand. Although not bringing their strongest squad to Vietnam, the Thai team is still highly rated due to their squad depth and superior professional foundation in the region. Therefore, Indonesia will need to show stability in the first step if they want to cause an upset.
The highlight of the day is the showdown between Vietnam and the Philippines at 19:00. With home advantage and an experienced core, Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's team aims for an opening victory before facing Indonesia and Thailand respectively in the next two days.
Vietnam is under high expectations after defeating Thailand to win a leg of the SEA V.Cup for the first time in the 2025 season. However, Thanh Thuy and her teammates still need to maintain focus against the Philippines, a rival with many young and physically strong players who are gradually improving their playing quality.
Meanwhile, the 2026 Men's VNL Finals take a rest on July 31. The two semifinal matches, Slovenia vs Poland and Japan vs USA, will take place on August 1 in Ningbo, China.
The schedule and broadcast channels may be adjusted according to announcements from the organizing committee.
