*TIANJIN, China – August 30, 2026* — The Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Women’s Continental Championship held in Tianjin concluded its bronze‑medal contest on Wednesday, featuring national teams from Japan and Iran.
According to a report from Xinhua News Agency, Japan’s outside hitter Mayu Ishikawa served the ball during the match, which determined the third‑place finisher in the tournament. The competition, which brings together the top women’s volleyball teams from across Asia and Oceania, has been staged in Tianjin since early August.
The bronze‑medal game marked the final day of the championship, following the earlier finals in which the gold and silver medals were decided. While the report highlighted Ishikawa’s serve, it did not disclose the final score or the outcome of the match.
The AVC Women’s Continental Championship serves as a key qualifier for upcoming international events, including the World Championship and the Olympic Games, and provides valuable ranking points for the participating nations.
