AVC Cup 2026 Drama: Indonesia One Step Away from Semifinals, Qatar Becomes Korea's Life-or-Death Key
The competition in Group B of the AVC Men's Volleyball Nations Cup 2026 is heating up ahead of the final matches on Friday (June 26). Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, Qatar, and Oman are locked in a tight race for the semifinal spots. The provisional standings as of Thursday (June 25) see Korea and Thailand at the top with two wins each, followed by Indonesia also with two wins, while Qatar and Oman are still fighting.
The deciding matches: Indonesia faces Oman, Korea takes on Qatar. If Indonesia wins against Oman, the Red-and-White squad will notch three wins and almost certainly secure a semifinal berth, even having a shot at topping the group. Qatar plays a crucial role: if they manage to beat Korea, they could create a situation where three or even four teams are tied on wins, with advancement decided by set ratio and point ratio.
Thailand has finished all their matches and can only wait for other results. Korea has a superior set ratio, but their fate depends on the outcome against Qatar. If Indonesia wins and Qatar beats Korea, Indonesia tops the group. Korea, Thailand, and Qatar would then vie with two wins each for the remaining ticket through tight calculations.
Group A has already been won by India with four wins, awaiting the runner-up from Group B. Provisional Group B standings: South Korea (2 wins, 6 points), Thailand (2 wins, 6 points), Indonesia (2 wins, 4 points), Qatar (1 win, 5 points), Oman (1 win, 3 points).
