Thanks to their victory, the team secured a spot in the World Women’s Beach Handball Championship, which will be held in Greece in June.

It was the second meeting between the two teams. In the previous matches, Viet Nam lost 2-1.

India came third and took bronze.

In Greece, Viet Nam will join 15 international powerhouses as they compete at the highest level of handball for the second time.

At their first world event in 2018, Viet Nam grabbed a historic 2-1 win over New Zealand and finished ninth in the overall ranking, the best result from the Asian representatives.
