Compared to the list of players who attended the training session in Europe, 5 players temporarily left the Vietnamese women's team this time: Ha Thi Ngoc Uyen, Doan Thi Ngoc Phuong, Nguyen Thi Truc Huong, Nguyen Thi Tuyet Ngan and Tran Nguyen Bao Chau.

According to coach Mai Duc Chung, these players have tried very hard but still need more time to improve further for the upcoming tasks of Vietnamese women's football.

According to the plan, the Vietnamese women's team has 2 more days of training at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center (Hanoi) before leaving for New Zealand at noon on July 5. Coach Mai Duc Chung and his players will have nearly 2 weeks to get acquainted and adapt to the conditions at the venue of Group E of the 2023 World Cup.

During this time, the Vietnamese women's team will have two friendly matches with host New Zealand (July 10) and the Spanish women's team (July 14).
