It was the best result ever of the country at an event of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).
Vietnam eliminated the host Philippines 25-14, 25-21, 25-22 in the quarter-final, but lost 19-25, 14-25, 19-25 to the world No.16 Czech Republic in the semifinal.
The bronze medal made Vietnam the only Asian squad in the world podium and jump to No.32 in the world, the highest position ever for the team.
