Thailand 7-0 Indonesia, AFF Women's Cup 2025: 'War Elephants' win big in opening match

In the first match of Group A - the 2025 Southeast Asian Football Championship (AFF Women's Cup) taking place at 4:30 p.m. today (August 6) at Lach Tray Stadium, the Thai women's team defeated the Indonesian team with a score of 7-0.

* Pre-match comments

This is an important match for the Thai women's team to aim for the top spot in Group A. Before the match, head coach Futoshi Ikeda shared: "Our first goal is to pass the group stage and then advance to the championship. In addition, we hope to develop the team with many young players participating."

Thai women's football is a leading force in the region, having won the AFF Women's Cup many times and regularly participating in the Asian Cup finals. However, coming to this tournament, the team from the land of golden pagodas does not have the strongest force. "Because the tournament is not on the FIFA Days schedule, Thailand has difficulty summoning the best players, but we are still very confident because there are young players in the team and this is an opportunity for them to challenge themselves," head coach Futoshi Ikeda affirmed.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian women's team is rated lower as they have not left a clear mark in recent tournaments. Despite improvements in physical strength and technical tactics, the team still lacks sharpness in their playing style, especially in attack. Against a strong opponent like Thailand, they will likely choose to play defensive counter-attacks. The notable point of the Indonesian team is the naturalized players, including 3 names: Ilsa Warps, Estella Loupattij and Noa Leatomu.

With the balance of power and experience, Thailand is expected to dominate the game. However, Indonesia is fully capable of causing surprises.
