In the finals of the 2014 and 2023 tournaments, the Vietnam U19 women's team lost to Thailand.

The U19 women's teams of Vietnam and Thailand have shown their strength from the group stage to the semi-finals with 4 wins in a row.

While Vietnam U19 women's team is the only team that has not conceded a goal and scored 20 goals, Thailand U19 is the team that has scored the most goals with 22 goals and only conceded 3 goals. Both teams have two strikers leading the "Top scorer" list with 5 goals each, Kurisara Limpawanich and Luu Hoang Van.

In the final match, the defense of the U19 women's team of Vietnam will face a challenge when facing the formidable strikers of Thailand. Not only playing aggressively, the strikers of Thailand also took advantage of the opportunities very well.

Although Thailand is a strong opponent, coach Okiyama Masahiko is also confident that the U19 women's team of Vietnam will achieve its championship goal. Because he has a group of young players with great potential, modern football thinking and is improving every day. And the U19 women of Thailand also showed weakness in defense when Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar scored. This is something that the U19 women's team of Vietnam can exploit.

With an attack as strong as Thailand's, the U19 Vietnamese women's team is also very good at free kicks, having scored 4 goals from direct free kicks.

Coach Okiyama Masahiko also could not hide his satisfaction with his team's free kick ability. "We have had many training sessions on free kicks, because set pieces can decide the fate of the match."
