(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club is the first Vietnamese team to participate in the AFC Women's Champions League. They are also the first team in history to reach the quarterfinals of an Asian women's football tournament at the club level.
The Ho Chi Minh City women's football club has impressively secured a place in the quarterfinals of the AFC Women's Champions League 2024-2025 after a 3-1 victory against Odisha (India) last night (October 9). The Vietnamese women's football team, representing Vietnam in this season's AFC Women's Champions League, has won both of their matches so far.
Huỳnh Như has returned and made a significant contribution to helping the Ho Chi Minh City women's club secure an early qualification to the knockout stage. The "diamond girl" of Vietnamese women's football has scored 3 goals in the first two matches of the Ho Chi Minh City women's team in this tournament, despite having to play through pain at times. The Ho Chi Minh City women's club not only has Huynh Nhu, but also veteran Thuy Trang who plays very dedicatedly and effectively.
The team's foreign players, who play in three positions along the "vertical axis": center back, central midfielder, and forward, have performed well. Young players like Hong Nhung, who scored the goal that sealed the 3-1 victory against Odisha, also had impressive performances. Coach Nguyen Hong Pham affirmed that the Ho Chi Minh City women's club will try to approach each match and overcome each stage in this year's tournament. Odisha coach Crispin Chettri highly praised Ho Chi Minh City FC, especially Huynh Nhu and many other promising players of the women's team. The opponent of the Ho Chi Minh City women's club will be determined after the final round of group stage matches, which will take place on the evening of October 12th.
