Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen withdraws from 2025 Women's Volleyball World Championship

Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen, a key player for the Vietnamese national volleyball team, has withdrawn from the 2025 Women's Volleyball World Championship due to personal and family reasons.

The Volleyball Federation of Vietnam (VFV) confirmed Tuyen's withdrawal, stating her importance to the team and welcoming her return in the future.

Her withdrawal follows earlier reports suggesting Thailand might question the gender of some Vietnamese players in a previous FIVB event.

Tuyen has also criticized the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) rules for lacking transparency and fairness.

She expressed gratitude to her fans on Facebook and highlighted the team's historic victory over Thailand in the SEA V.League Round 2 as a memorable achievement.

Vietnam, ranked 21st globally, is set to compete in Group G against Poland, Germany, and Kenya, with their first match against Poland on August 23.
