Vietnam women's team: Determined to win to show gratitude to fans

Unable to overcome U23 Australia in the semi-finals, the Vietnamese women's team entered the bronze medal match with Thailand this afternoon (August 19), at 4:30 p.m.

This is a familiar opponent in the region and once lost to coach Mai Duc Chung and his team in the group stage of the Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship (ASEAN Women's Cup 2025).

The 1-2 defeat to U23 Australia caused coach Mai Duc Chung and his team to miss the chance to reach the final. Lach Tray Stadium will continue to be the "fire pan" to give more mental strength to the Vietnamese girls. Coach Mai Duc Chung affirmed that the whole team will fight with all their might, not only for the bronze medal but also to respond to the love of the fans.

The Southeast Asian title race is a clash between Myanmar and U23 Australia, both of whom deserve to be in the final of the 2025 ASEAN Women's Cup. The Myanmar women's team caused a big surprise in the group stage when they defeated U23 Australia and made the defending champion Philippines powerless to leave the tournament and even defeated the Thai women's team in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, after the defeat of U23 Australia on the opening day, coach Joe Palatsides and his team quickly adjusted and gradually adapted to the weather to win 3 consecutive matches against the Philippines, Timor-Leste and Vietnam to win a ticket to the final. The final match is the reunion of the 2 teams in Group B and promises to be dramatic, also a chance for "revenge" for the kangaroo team.
