This is a huge source of moral support for the players and coaching staff of both teams in their journey to conquer the highest goal at the 33rd SEA Games.

Speaking after the match, VFF President Tran Quoc Tuan said that today was a very special day as both the men's and women's national teams played at the same time. However, it was joyful and happy that both teams successfully achieved their goals from the group stage.

Mr. Tran Quoc Tuan highly appreciated the efforts of both teams in overcoming difficulties and pressure to secure victories in crucial matches. The fact that both teams led 2-0 in the first half and took the top spot in the group is a very important factor for the subsequent calculations in the semi-final match.

However, with very important matches ahead, VFF President Tran Quoc Tuan noted that the Vietnamese national football teams need to continue to focus on preparation and perform well in order to gradually realize their goals.

The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) awarded 1.3 billion VND to the two national teams.
