Thai Volleyball Star Nets Upset Win Over South Korea
Thailand's men's volleyball team upset South Korea 3-2 at the AVC Continental Championship in Japan, advancing to the quarterfinals behind libero Nakhon Indha's emotional performance.
Nakhon Indha, a 20-year-old libero for Thailand's men's volleyball team, spoke after Thailand's dramatic 3-2 set victory over South Korea at the 2026 AVC Men's Volleyball Continental Championship in Fukuoka, Japan. The win secured Thailand's place in the quarterfinals. Visibly emotional after the match, Indha acknowledged that he had placed too much pressure on himself during the game. "Today I put way too much pressure on myself," he said. "I was trying to make every ball count, but I couldn't. I ended up being too hard on myself, too tense. But my teammates kept encouraging me, and we came back. I'll try to enjoy playing more, not pressure myself so much, and just play with happiness. Please support me—don't curse me." Thailand's final group-stage match will be against Taiwan on September 9 at 11:30 a.m.
