Semifinal result: China 3-2 Thailand
The last four at the 2026 Asian Games women’s volleyball tournament were played at Park Arena Komaki in Japan. Thailand, world No. 13 and 2026 Asian champions, met China, world No. 7 and the 2022 Asian Games gold medallists. It was a rematch of the late-August Asian Championship final in Tianjin, which Thailand won 3-2 to book a 2028 Olympic place.
CCTV’s 21 September report says China beat Thailand 3-2 and reached the gold-medal match. PPTV’s semifinal preview remains the Thai-language source for kickoff time, rankings, and the Olympic qualifier context.

How to open Channel 36 without junk sites
Rising queries such as “ช่อง 36 ออนไลน์” and “pptv36” are navigational. Use digital terrestrial TV, the official live page, or AIS PLAY. Skip third-party restreams that ask for a random APK or browser extension. Geo-restrictions apply; a Thai rights page will not unlock CCTV, and the reverse is also true.
