Head coach of the Kyrgyzstan U.20 team - Zakirov Nematzhan said: "Of the 3 opponents in Group B, the Vietnam U.20 women's team is the most promising candidate for the next round, because they are the home team.

The weather in Hanoi is quite hot, different from our country. Hopefully, we will soon adapt to this climate. Meeting the Vietnamese team in the last match is not necessarily an advantage, because Kyrgyzstan and Singapore are also strong teams. Maybe in the last match, the situation will gradually be decided, so we will have more appropriate calculations when facing Vietnam," added coach Zakirov Nematzhan.

Head coach of the Singapore U.20 women's team - Fazrul Nawaz commented: "We will try our best to get good results. The players' spirit is very high, they want to contribute to the team in the upcoming qualifying round."

"I have met the Vietnamese team many times when I was a player. Vietnam is a strong football team in Southeast Asia, having won the regional championship many times. Vietnamese players have outstanding skills and physical strength. They will be a tough opponent for Singapore. However, we want to compete fairly with other teams," said Fazrul Nawaz.

Meanwhile, the head coach of the Vietnam U.20 women's team - Okiyama Masahiko said: "We gathered a few weeks before as planned, and so far no players have been injured. The recent training trip to Japan helped the players learn a lot. I highly appreciate the recent preparation process. At the moment, I myself am not under any pressure. The goal of the Vietnam U.20 women's team is to pass the qualifying round to enter the final round."
