Beyond the joy of victory, the positive effect from that historic gold medal is spreading strongly to the teams, players, and fans at the 2025 National Women's Futsal Championship, a vibrant tournament currently taking place at the Chanh Hung Ward Gymnasium (Ho Chi Minh City).
A well-timed morale boost.
For the first time ever, the Vietnamese women's futsal team stepped onto the highest podium at the SEA Games, breaking all boundaries and affirming the courage, willpower, and aspiration of a rapidly maturing team. The SEA Games 33 gold medal therefore holds more value than just a title; it is recognition of a long and arduous process, of the sweat, tears, and silent sacrifices of the players.
The 2025 National Women's Futsal Championship will take place from December 29, 2025 to January 8, 2026 and will feature four teams: Phong Phu Ha Nam, Thai Son Nam Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi , and Ho Chi Minh City. The teams will compete in a double round-robin format, with points awarded to determine the rankings. The champion will receive 100 million VND, the runner-up 80 million VND, and the third-place team 50 million VND.
The first National Women's Futsal Championship was held in 2022 to prepare the national team for the 31st SEA Games on home soil. Three years later, the national team won the SEA Games for the first time in history, and the National Championship was held immediately after that achievement.
For the first time in two seasons, the domestic women's futsal tournament is entering the competition with such an exciting and inspiring atmosphere. The stands are packed with fans. On the court, the players are entering the game with fierce determination and a clear desire to prove themselves more than ever before.
The national team's achievements have provided a timely morale boost. Players who have just emerged from regional competitions have become role models and a direct source of motivation for young players competing in the national league. They no longer see the national team as an unattainable goal, but rather an achievable one through effort, discipline, and daily progress. This has significantly improved the professional quality of the league, making it faster-paced, more intense, and more fiercely competitive.
The gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games also affirmed the foundational role of the national championship. Each match is now not just a race for achievement, but also a "stage" for players to prove their abilities and nurture their dreams of wearing the Vietnamese women's futsal team jersey in the future. New faces, young talents are gradually emerging, bringing with them freshness and the aspiration to inherit the legacy of the older generation who just made history.
Belief in the future
For many years, Vietnamese women's futsal has faced numerous challenges, such as a lack of playing opportunities, limited talent for the next generation, and modest social attention. However, the gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games is expected to change that perception. This victory not only affirms the team's ability and resilience but also sends a clear message: Vietnamese women's futsal can conquer new heights if properly invested in. From then on, the sport began to receive more attention from the media, sports administrators, and fans.
The first visible positive effect is its spread to local areas. With international achievements, women's futsal is no longer a "secondary competition," but becomes a new investment target in the strategy for developing grassroots sports. Many centers, clubs, schools, and localities will boldly open women's futsal training classes and organize amateur tournaments, thereby forming a more widespread and sustainable competition system. This is a crucial foundation for building a future generation of players for the national team.
The gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games also provided great motivation for young players. The image of the Vietnamese women's futsal team standing on the highest podium in the region has ignited a clearer and closer dream than ever before. It has given them more confidence to choose futsal as a serious career path, instead of just a short-term passion. As more and more players pursue futsal professionally, the professional quality of domestic tournaments will undoubtedly improve.
For the fans, that historic achievement was an invaluable dose of "spiritual doping." It rekindled faith after years of waiting, showing that Vietnamese women's sports, especially women's futsal, can absolutely write beautiful stories if given timely support.
The support from fans and society is a crucial source of energy for the players to continue giving their best, and for managers to be more determined to invest in the long term. And from that historic gold medal, Vietnamese women's futsal is standing at the threshold of a new stage of development.
It's a journey of belief, of spreading inspiration, and of dreams growing bigger with every step on the futsal court. If today's flame is properly preserved and nurtured, Vietnamese women's futsal can absolutely aim for even greater success in the not-too-distant future.
