Vinh Phuc, Vietnam, April 23, 2023 – Intense encounters and unforeseen challenges await all 9 teams participating in the 2023 Asian Women’s Club Volleyball Championship between April 25 and May 2 at the 3,000-seater Vinh Phuc Gymnasium here, as coaches shared their points of view on teams’ preparations and expectations in this continent’s topflight club tournament.
As no official press conference is held for the eight-day championship, the brief interviews with team officials had been conducted in the Preliminary Inquiry on Sunday at the Volleyball Office on the first floor of the DIC Star Hotels & Resorts, the official hotel for all participating teams and officials during their stay in Vinh Phuc.
