Ho Chi Minh City I sets championship record, 2025 National Women's Championship ends dramatically

On the afternoon of October 13, the 0-0 draw with Hanoi helped Ho Chi Minh City I successfully defend the title of the National Women's Championship - Thai Son Bac Cup 2025.

TP.HCM I has almost no opponents in the women's tournament.

Going into the final round, Hanoi had to win, while Ho Chi Minh City I only needed one point to be crowned. Therefore, the two teams entered the match with high spirits and the match was a tug of war throughout the 90 minutes.

Hanoi proactively pushed up their formation but encountered the tight, disciplined defense of Ho Chi Minh City I. Coach Kim Chi arranged the duo Huynh Nhu - K'Thua in attack, combining experience and youth to both maintain the attack rhythm and reduce the load on the back line.

TP.HCM I did not create many clear opportunities. On the opposite side, Hanoi's strikers such as Hai Yen, Thanh Nha or Van Su were also tightly blocked, making it impossible for the capital team to penetrate the opponent's defense. The match ended without a goal, reflecting the tight and calculating game.

The National Women's Football Championship ended successfully.

At the end of the season, TP.HCM I won 21 points after 10 matches, 2 points more than Hanoi. They successfully defended the championship for the 10th time in 11 years under the reign of coach Doan Thi Kim Chi - an unprecedented record in the history of Vietnamese women's football. Hanoi finished second, Than KSVN ranked third due to losing the direct confrontation.

Pham Hai Yen (Hanoi) won the Golden Boot with 6 goals, while Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang (HCMC I) was voted the best player of the season. Goalkeeper Khong Thi Hang (Than KSVN) received the Golden Glove award, while HCMC I ended the season perfectly with the additional title of "stylish team".
