Latest Thailand women's volleyball world ranking after win over Kazakhstan advances to Asian top 8, with some regrets.
On 25 August 2026, the latest Thailand women's volleyball world ranking was released following their victory over Kazakhstan in the third match of Group B at the 2026 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship in Tianjin, People's Republic of China.
In the match, Thailand's women's national volleyball team defeated Kazakhstan 3-1 sets with scores of 25-22, 25-16, 23-25, 25-11, securing a full 9 points from 3 matches and advancing to the top 8 as Group B champions.
This performance increased Thailand women's volleyball world ranking points by 2.64 to a total of 199.12 points, but they remained in 17th place globally.
The points gained represent a regrettable outcome for Thailand's women's volleyball team, as losing the first set in this championship cost them the chance to overtake Belgium, which holds 201.20 points, and move up to 16th place in the world rankings.
Had Thailand, who had 196.48 points before this match, won 3-0 against Kazakhstan, they would have gained an additional 5.14 points for a total of 201.62, surpassing Belgium and claiming the 16th spot worldwide.
Nonetheless, the Thailand women's volleyball team has secured a place in the top 8 and will face an opponent from Group A or Group C in matches scheduled for 27-28 August.
