Coach Mai Duc Chung speaks from the heart before the Southeast Asian women's football tournament

Before the match kicked off, coach Mai Duc Chung said: “The Vietnamese women's football team respects all opponents in this year's tournament. We have studied the teams from Thailand, Indonesia, and Cambodia (the Vietnamese women's team's opponents in Group A), and they are making very positive changes.”

"I believe the Vietnamese women's team must try their best in every match. We want to call on the fans to support the Vietnamese women's football team in this tournament," added coach Mai Duc Chung.

This tournament serves as preparation for the Vietnamese women's football team for the 33rd SEA Games in December, as well as for the upcoming Asian Women's Football Championship. Coach Mai Duc Chung highly values the importance of this regional tournament.

Mr. Chung shared: “This is a very important tournament for Vietnamese women's football and other teams in Southeast Asia. We have the opportunity to gain experience and prepare for the Southeast Asian Games later this year.”
