At the SEA Games, the Vietnamese women’s football team holds the record of 8 gold medals. Of which, they are currently the champion for 4 consecutive times.

Coach Mai Duc Chung and his team's journey to win the 5th consecutive gold medal will begin today (December 5). Their first opponent is Malaysia, a team that is not highly rated.

Winning and getting all 3 points will be the mandatory goal, before the whole team thinks about the 2 remaining tough opponents in group B, Myanmar and Philippines.

In terms of force, the 33rd SEA Games witnessed a transition of the Vietnamese women's team. Coach Mai Duc Chung has many stars who have passed the age of 30 such as Huynh Nhu, Hai Yen, Bich Thuy, Tran Thi Thu... This could be the last SEA Games of this generation of players considered the golden generation.

Besides that, there are many talented young players who have been proven over the past few years such as Thanh Nha, Van Su, Hai Linh...

The opening match against Malaysia will be an opportunity for coach Mai Duc Chung to test the squad before moving on to more difficult matches.
