Vietnam kicks off 2023 Asian Women’s Club Volleyball Championship with victory over Iran
The win was largely attributed to the excellent performance of outside hitter and captain Tran Thi Thanh Thuy. Sport Center 1, which mainly features members of the Vietnamese national women’s volleyball team, asserted intense pressure in the start but the very first points went to Paykan. The two teams relentlessly chased after each other for every single point until the Vietnamese side claimed the first set by 25-22. Paykan put the match back to the starting line after winning the second set by 25-21. Each of the two teams took one in the third and fourth sets, thereby extending the match to a fifth set, in which Sport Center 1 staged a comeback to conclude at 15-10. After the 3-2 victory, the Vietnamese representative is set to meet Japan’s Hisamitsu Springs in their second match on Thursday. The 2023 Asian Women’s Club Volleyball Championship is the 23rd edition of the annual international women’s volleyball club tournament organized by the Asian Volleyball Confederation and
