Vietnam women's team gathers, absent faces from Ho Chi Minh City Club

(NLDO) - The Vietnamese women's team gathered with 27 players, but the Ho Chi Minh City women's club did not have a representative called up.

According to plan, the national women's team will officially gather from October 21 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center ( Hanoi ), to prepare for the 33rd SEA Games taking place in Thailand next December.

Under the leadership of coach Mai Duc Chung, a list of 27 players has been sent to the Department of Sports and Physical Training. Notably, in this training session, there are no players from Ho Chi Minh City Club, as the team is preparing to participate in the 2025-2026 Asian Women's Club Championship in mid-November.

Coach Mai Duc Chung's coaching staff continues to have the support of familiar assistants such as coach Doan Minh Hai, former player Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh, fitness coach Cedric Serge Christian Roger and a team doctor.

Sharing about personnel work, coach Mai Duc Chung said this is the third training session in 2025, aiming to defend the title at SEA Games 33.

“This time, the team has many outstanding young faces from domestic tournaments. We hope that they will practice hard and learn from their seniors to prove themselves and be included in the list of SEA Games participants. The veteran players are also always ready to give way to the younger generation, for the overall development of the team," said Mr. Chung.

The veteran coach affirmed that the goal of the Vietnamese women's team is still to win the highest position in the regional arena.

“Our opponents are investing heavily, even naturalizing many quality players. However, we have the advantage in spirit, agility and dexterity. The team is also given maximum conditions by the leadership of the Vietnam Football Federation, including training trips abroad to gain experience,” coach Mai Duc Chung emphasized.

According to the plan, the team will gather on the morning of October 21 and practice for the first time in the afternoon of the same day. On November 20, the whole team will go to Japan for training, with 3 scheduled friendly matches with the top women's clubs in the land of the rising sun.
