The head coach of Korea's women's national volleyball team voiced optimism about his squad securing a medal in the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. He highlighted the team's progress following their inaugural training session in Japan. Coach Cha Sang-hyun made this statement to reporters post-training at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Gymnasium, located approximately 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya.
Reflecting on the team's previous performance at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, where they lost to Vietnam and did not advance to the medals round, Cha expressed confidence in the team's resolve for this event. He asserted that his players are fully committed and striving to achieve their objectives. Upon arriving in Japan the day before, the team set out on its mission to reclaim a medal in the Asian Games, which commence on Saturday.
In the preliminary round, Korea will compete against Hong Kong, Qatar, and Vietnam. The two highest-ranking teams from each of the four groups will progress to the quarterfinals. Korea suffered its first preliminary match defeat since the 2006 Asian Games in Hangzhou, a loss to Vietnam that prevented them from advancing to the medal round.
