This match is an opportunity for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team to win a medal. Therefore, coach Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa fielded the strongest lineup with Kim Thoa, Nguyen Thi Uyen, Pham Thi Hien, Bich Thuy, Nguyen Thi Phuong, Kieu Trinh, Ly Ly.

However, they could not create an overwhelming force against the young athletes of U21 Shanghai. The first step continued to be a big obstacle, making it difficult for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team to launch an attack. Even libero Luu Thi Ly Ly made many mistakes.

Besides, the physical strength was worn down after the 5-set loss in the semi-final less than 12 hours ago, making the Vietnamese team even more disadvantaged.

Shanghai U21 with better physique and tactics quickly won 3-0 (17-25, 23-25, 23-25).

Thus, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team ranked 4th overall at the Shanghai Future Star 2025 tournament. However, this achievement is an improvement over last year when the team only ranked 5th overall.

In addition, the reserve athletes of the team as well as the young players have been given more opportunities to compete and gain experience. This tournament can help the coaching staff evaluate the ability and performance of each person to prepare for the two upcoming major tournaments: the U21 Women's Volleyball World Championship and the Women's Volleyball World Championship.
