The Werder Bremen women's team that came to Vietnam included 26 players and 9 coaching staff members. Head coach Thomas Horsch said he highly appreciated the professional quality of the Vietnamese women's team, which is ranked 37th in the world . Therefore, the German strategist brought almost the strongest force with many outstanding pillars.

The most notable name is striker Larissa Mühlhaus. The 22-year-old striker scored 8 goals in the German national championship last season. Mühlhaus won the title of top scorer in the German Second Division with 22 goals when playing for Hamburg. In addition, the Bremen squad also has Juliane Wirtz, the sister of men's player Florian Wirtz. This is the person who just helped Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga in the 2024/25 season. Juliane plays in the midfielder position and has made 19 appearances in the domestic tournament this season.

Outstanding physique is the strength of the Bremen players. The two central defenders Lara Schmidt and Hanna Nemeth are both 1m80 tall, while most of the other members are over 1m60 tall. This will be a big challenge in terms of competition and aerial combat for the students of coach Mai Duc Chung. However, this is also a good opportunity for Hoang Thi Loan, Tuyet Dung, Hai Yen and Ngoc Minh Chuyen to practice their bravery and ability to collide with European opponents.

The German women's team finished the 2024/25 season in 7th place in the Bundesliga after 22 games (9 wins, 2 draws, 11 losses). They scored 28 goals and conceded 39.

The friendly match between the Vietnamese women's team and Werder Bremen is part of a series of events celebrating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the Federal Republic of Germany. This is not only an opportunity for the two teams to compete and improve their professional skills, but also contributes to promoting cultural cooperation between the two countries through the king of sports.

“The match is part of the preparation plan for the important tasks of the national women's team in 2025. This year is a busy year for Vietnamese women's football with many international tournaments. We always try to create the best conditions for the team to have the opportunity to compete with quality opponents," VFF General Secretary Nguyen Van Phu emphasized.
