SEA V Cup 2026 – Vietnam Wins, Qualifies for AVC

Entities: Federico Rampazzo · Vietnam men's national volleyball team · Indonesia men's national volleyball team · Indonesia · Ngọc Thuân

Overview

Vietnam secured its first SEA V Cup championship, beating Thailand 3‑2 in a five‑set final after a 3‑1 semifinal win over host Indonesia. The victory lifted Vietnam’s world ranking to 58 and guaranteed a direct berth at the 2027 Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Cup, joining fellow Southeast Asian representatives Indonesia and Cambodia.

The team was directed by Italian coach Federico Rampazzo, a former electronics engineer, whose tactical adjustments after falling behind in the second set sparked the comeback that clinched the title.

The 2026 tournament featured a new cup format that replaced the former SEA V League, with six nations – Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines and Myanmar – drawn into groups before progressing to knockout rounds.

Indonesia rebounded from the semifinal loss by defeating Cambodia 3‑1 to claim bronze on 26 July in Jakarta. Coach Reidel Toiran praised the squad’s resilience amid a demanding schedule that included the AVC Championship in India, and confirmed the retirement of veteran opposite hitter Rivan Nurmulki and setter Nizar Zulfikar.

The outcomes reshape regional standings and set the stage for upcoming Asian Games and AVC competitions, with Vietnam and Indonesia now focused on future qualifiers.
