The squad that Coach Mai Duc Chung chose to go to Thailand includes many experienced players who accompanied him in the 2023 World Cup campaign such as: Tran Thi Kim Thanh, Hoang Thi Loan, Le Thi Diem My, Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, Pham Hai Yen and captain Huynh Nhu.

As for captain Huynh Nhu, she has participated in the SEA Games for the 6th time in 2013, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2025. In all 5 previous SEA Games, Huynh Nhu has scored and can continue this unbelievable record in this year's tournament.

In addition, coach Mai Duc Chung also gradually transferred the generation, with players born in 2000 and later being given more opportunities to play the "main role". These are Tran Thi Duyen, Tran Thi Hai Linh, Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha, Ngoc Minh Chuyen and Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang.

In the last 4 Games, the Vietnamese women's team under the leadership of coach Mai Duc Chung won the gold medal. The strategist over 70 years old also hopes to be able to create another milestone in the history of Southeast Asia with the "Golden Star Female Warriors".

According to the plan, at 8:40 am tomorrow (December 2), coach Mai Duc Chung and his team will move to Bangkok, then continue to Chonburi (Thailand). This will be the venue for the women's football matches of the 33rd SEA Games. The team is in the same group with Myanmar, Philippines and Malaysia. Two of the three opponents, Myanmar and Philippines, promise to be a difficult obstacle for Huynh Nhu and her teammates.

Coach Mai Duc Chung shared: “We all know that other countries also invest a lot in their teams, such as naturalizing a lot of athletes, causing difficulties for us because Vietnamese people are short and weak. But in return, we have a quick and agile spirit. The team has also been given many opportunities by the leadership of the Vietnam Football Federation to compete and train abroad with better players so that we can learn and gain experience. The recent training period in Japan with a number of friendly matches has helped the team improve their skills and confidently aim for the SEA Games with the highest goal.”
