Indonesian volleyball team faces Thailand in SEA V League 2025 opener

The Indonesian national volleyball team will begin their SEA V League 2025 campaign against Thailand at Candon City Arena, Ilocos sur, Philippines. This opening match presents a significant challenge considering the rivalry between both teams as Southeast Asia’s volleyball powerhouses.

Rivan Nurmulki and teammates will face Thailand as their first opponent again — a repeat of the AVC Nations Cup 2025 scenario where Indonesia emerged victorious in five sets after trailing by two.

The team’s current focus centers on two crucial aspects:

• First ball reception
• Service consistency

Significant changes have been made to the libero position with the inclusion of two LavAni players — Irpan and Prasojo. Irpan is making his return after missing the Proliga 2025 final due to appendix surgery.
