Vietnamese volleyball stars land spots in global top 100 rankings

Tran Thi Thanh Thuy leads the quartet, ranked 14th overall with 327.85 points accumulated from 10 scoring events, including the AVC Nations Cup and the Southeast Asian Volleyball League (SEA V.League).

That places her fourth among all outside hitters globally, ahead of veterans like Ebrar Karakurt from Turkey and Julia Kudiess from Brazil.

Libero Nguyen Khanh Dang surged to 27th overall with 235.25 points, buoyed by a Best Libero award and a silver medal in the 2025 AVC Women’s Volleyball Champions League with club VTV Binh Dien Long An.

Mid-level positions also went to Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen, who ranked 85th with 169.25 points, and Vi Thi Nhu Quynh, who placed 86th with 169 points, both of whom contributed to Vietnam’s recent regional successes.

The rise of Vietnamese players reflects robust regional performance, though analysts note that Vietnam’s absence from elite tournaments like the FIVB Volleyball Nations League may limit further escalation in rankings.

Volleybox, often compared to football’s Transfermarkt, bases its rankings on measurable competitive outcomes such as match results and individual awards rather than subjective selection.
