JAKARTA The U-21 Indonesian Women's Volleyball national team must win against Argentina in the last match of Group A if they want to get a ticket to the round of 16 of the U-21 Women's Volleyball World Championship or the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Women's U21 World Championship.
Junaida Santi and colleagues have not met the requirements to qualify for the round of 16 after being beaten by Serbia 2-3 (21-25, 27-25, 23-25, 25-22, and 13-15) in the fourth match at the Java Pos Arena, Surabaya, East Java, on Monday, August 11, 2025, evening WIB.
To be able to enter the round of 16, Indonesia must meet the requirements for at least two wins. So far, Marcos Sugiyama's squad has only secured one win.
The result against Serbia was the third defeat suffered by Indonesia. Prior to that, the Garuda Pertiwi squad lost against Vietnam in the first match and Puerto Rico in the third match.

As for one victory that Indonesia managed to get, it occurred when they met Canada in the second match. Indonesia currently collects five points and sits in fifth position, a place that is not yet safe to go to the round of 16.
So, Indonesia needs to fight Argentina to enter the top four and qualify. However, Indonesia's chances are getting thinner because Argentina so far has not lost four matches and has the status of leaders in Group A.
Argentina has appeared very dominant in their four matches. Their journey began with a landslide victory 3-0 (25-19, 26-24, and 25-15) against Canada in the first match.
They then stopped Puerto Rico with the same scores 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, and 25-21). Then they won 3-1 (25-18, 25-21, 19-25, 25-19) over Serbia and 3-1 (10-25, 25-20, 25-15) over Vietnam.
The match between Indonesia and Argentina will take place at the Java Pos Arena on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. The clash will start at 19.00 WIB.
