The Thailand women’s volleyball team have flourished into one of the most formidable programmes in Asia with their veteran players, but this season comes with an element of excitement as they aim to build off a promising season with a youthful core.
Thatdao Nuekjang, who won the 2021 Japan V.League title with JT Marvelous, is a front-runner to lead the youthful squad brimming with potential, with seasoned players Pornpun Guedpard, Ajcharaporn Kongyot, Hattaya Bamrungsuk and their juniors Chatchu-on Moksri and Pimpichaya Kokram also returning this season.
The Thailand Volleyball Association announced the 20 players who will be part of the training camp in preparation for the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Nations League bubble in Rimini, Italy this week.
Players were selected based on their performance in the Thailand League, where Chatchu-on received Best Outside Spiker and Best Scorer honours, alongside the senior national team’s fresh faces Sasipapornn Chanthawisut (Best Outside Spiker), Chitaporn Kamlangmak (Best Middle Blocker) and Yupa Santiklang (Best Libero).
The 20 players will undergo Covid-19 testing on April 19 before leaving the next day for the province of Nakhon Pathom, where they will train for a month.
They are also scheduled to participate in the Asian Senior Women’s Championship, where the top two teams will qualify for the 2022 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship in the Netherlands and Poland.
