Leader Huynh Nhu
Huynh Nhu is considered by FIFA to be the number one star of the Vietnamese women's national team.
Without a doubt, Huynh Nhu is the leader, driving force, and symbol of the Vietnamese women's national team during its most successful period in history, with the Southeast Asian Championship title, four consecutive SEA Games gold medals, and now participation in the 2023 Women's World Cup.
The striker from Tra Vinh is sowing the seeds of dreams for countless young girls who love football, as he becomes the first Vietnamese player to play in Europe, regularly appearing for Lank Vilaverdense.
With a record of nearly 70 goals for the national team, 7 national championships, and 5 Vietnamese Golden Ball awards, Huỳnh Như's experience and composure have helped her consistently appear and speak up at the right time, bringing victories to the Vietnamese women's national team.

It's no coincidence that FIFA's homepage considers Huynh Nhu the most important star of the Vietnamese women's national team: "Huynh Nhu is a skillful, intelligent, and sharp striker. Her masterful finishing ability makes her the top scorer in the history of Vietnamese women's football. She is an example for her teammates thanks to her hard work and never-give-up fighting spirit."
At 32 years old, this will be the first and last World Cup appearance for this deadly striker with the ponytail. More than anyone else, she will cherish every second on the field, hunting for opportunities to score at the world championship, just as she became the first Vietnamese player to score against Australia in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualifiers.
Elegant Lightning
Thanh Nhã always makes her opponents suffer with her powerful speed.
The blistering burst of speed and the decisive left-footed shot that beat two-time Champions League winner Merle Frohms will undoubtedly be remembered for a long time, showcasing the spirit, determination, and confidence of the Vietnamese women's national team.
That goal also had a very important psychological impact, helping coach Mai Duc Chung and his team feel much more confident and relaxed before heading to New Zealand to prepare for the 2023 Women's World Cup.
For Thanh Nha personally, that goal will probably stay with her for life. But this beautiful girl with the speed of a high-speed train doesn't want to stop there. Things would be even better if the girl born in 2001 could score against the opponent in New Zealand.
Thanh Nhã is growing rapidly and is poised to become an important player for the Vietnamese women's national team.
Thanh Nha's progress also caught the attention of FIFA: "Thanh Nha is one of the most exciting young talents in Vietnamese women's football. She had a good performance at the 2022 Asian Cup."
Thanh Nhã possesses speed and good dribbling skills. This helps the Vietnamese women's team relieve pressure and advance into the opponent's penalty area. Thanh Nhã can play well on the wing and as a center forward. She also has passes that can penetrate the opponent's defense."
Bich Thuy Drill Bit
Bich Thuy is a dangerous attacking force on the right wing of the Vietnamese women's national team.
Many generations of footballers have come and gone, but history will forever remember the petite yet agile Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy and her precious goal against Taiwan, which helped the Vietnamese women's national team qualify for their first-ever Women's World Cup.
That historic goal earned Bich Thuy the Third-Class Labor Medal from the President of Vietnam . It also marked a significant milestone in the successful career of the key right midfielder for Ho Chi Minh City FC and the Vietnamese women's national team.
Along with Huynh Nhu, Thuy Trang, and Chuong Thi Kieu, Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy was a key player in the core framework and in the tactical calculations of coach Mai Duc Chung, ushering in the most successful era in history.

In the match against Germany, it was Bich Thuy's speed, mobility, and tenacious composure that helped the right wing of the Vietnamese women's team withstand the relentless, wave-like attacks of the two-time world champions and eight-time European champions.
Her consistent goal-scoring form, including two goals against Malaysia and the Philippines at the SEA Games 32, and a strike against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, shows that the midfielder born in 1994 is having a very good start to the historic Women's World Cup in New Zealand.
Waiting for Hai Yen to find love.
Hai Yen is entering the prime of her career.
During training camps in Germany and Poland, striker Pham Hai Yen was one of the best performing players, scoring consecutive goals against Eintracht Frankfurt and Schott Mainz.
At the 32nd SEA Games, the Hanoi FC female striker also left a strong impression with a goal in the semi-final against host Cambodia and the opening goal in the 3-0 victory against Malaysia.
At 28 years old, the female striker from Thuong Tin (Ha Tay) is entering the prime of her career. In particular, she has demonstrated leadership qualities for the Vietnamese women's national team, often wearing the captain's armband in Huynh Nhu's absence.
Distinguished by her intelligent off-ball movement, Hai Yen is very dangerous with her dribbling skills, breaking offside traps to put herself in advantageous positions to score. Especially in the last two years, the girl born in 1994 has improved her strength and stamina significantly, perfecting her finishing ability and seizing opportunities.
Coach Mai Duc Chung's "trump cards"
Vu Thi Hoa (18) and Tuyet Dung (7) are important "trump cards" of Coach Mai Duc Chung
Besides the prominent names mentioned above, coach Mai Duc Chung still has some dangerous players up his sleeve, just waiting to shine in the Vietnamese women's national team jersey, such as young striker Vu Thi Hoa, who almost scored against Germany.
That was a situation where the girl from Nghe An province cleverly broke through to face goalkeeper Merle Frohms. Only the experience of a champion could help Merle Frohms protect the German women's team's goal.
That missed opportunity left Vu Thi Hoa heartbroken and sleepless. But this petite girl has overcome countless difficulties and obstacles to pursue her dream of playing football, and she is determined to use that as motivation to score for the Vietnamese women's national team at the 2023 Women's World Cup.
In addition, the Vietnamese women's team can also look forward to the free kicks of Tuyet Dung, a girl with incredible free-kick skills who has been dubbed the David Beckham of Vietnamese women's football.
Vu Thi Hoa is expected to follow in the footsteps of her predecessors Huynh Nhu and Hai Yen.
The world still speaks of Tuyet Dung with admiration for her two consecutive corner kick goals, scored with two different feet, in the 7-0 victory against Malaysia at the 2015 Southeast Asian Championship.
With the female captain of Phong Phu Ha Nam Club on the field, the Vietnamese women's national team can certainly expect some breakthroughs from dangerous free kicks or corner kicks.
In addition, coach Mai Duc Chung can also place his hopes on the breakthrough performance of the Thai ethnic girl Ngan Thi Van Su. At the age of 22, the 1.52m tall girl has already accumulated a considerable record with goals against Myanmar, Cambodia, and Timor Leste.
In the friendly match against Poland U23, it was Van Su who scored the consolation goal for the Vietnamese women's national team. Small but agile like a squirrel, Van Su is maturing day by day thanks to the careful guidance and direction of coach Mai Duc Chung.
