Indonesia men’s volleyball team faces Thailand in AVC Nations Cup 2025 opener

The Indonesia men’s volleyball team will begin their AVC Nations Cup 2025 campaign against Thailand at the Isa Bin Rashid Volleyball Hall, Riffa, Manama, Bahrain.

The tournament’s second day features three compelling matches — Taiwan versus Philippines at 18:00 WIB, Vietnam facing New Zealand at 20:30 WIB, and Indonesia meeting Thailand at 23:00 WIB.

The teams’ last encounter occurred in the 2023 AVC Challenge Cup quarterfinals — Rivan Nurmulki and teammates suffered a dramatic loss with a score of 2-3 (20-25, 27-25, 25-20, 16-25, 12-15).

The head-to-head record shows Thailand’s dominance with 9 victories compared to Indonesia’s 5 wins. However, Doni Haryono’s presence in the Thai Volleyball League this season provides a unique advantage — deep insight into the opponent’s strengths.
