After a regrettable 2-3 defeat against host U17 Kyrgyzstan, U17 Laos's chances of advancing in Group B of the 2026 AFC U17 qualifiers are becoming extremely slim.
With 9 points after 4 matches and 3 points behind the leading team, the representative of the Land of a Million Elephants must win the U17 Kyrgyzstan in the last match with a minimum difference of 4 goals to be able to turn the situation around and win the only ticket to the final round. This is an extremely difficult task when the home team is in high form and has an outstanding goal difference.
Not only Laos U17, Thailand U17 also fell into a similar situation after losing 2-3 to Turkmenistan U17. From the top spot, the Golden Temple team fell to third with 6 points and a goal difference of +9.
In the final round of Group F, U17 Thailand must defeat the top team U17 Kuwait (9 points, goal difference +11) and wait for U17 Turkmenistan not to beat U17 Mongolia - a scenario that is considered very unlikely.
In contrast to the other teams' lack of strength, U17 Myanmar created the biggest surprise on the match day of November 28 when they defeated U17 Oman 2-0, thereby rising to the top of Group G. As long as they do not lose to U17 Syria in the last round, they will win a ticket to the final round.
In Group C, U17 Vietnam and U17 Malaysia both won to maintain the two-horse race. Coach Cristiano Roland and his team defeated U17 Macau (China) 4-0, while U17 Malaysia beat U17 Singapore 2-1. With a better goal difference (+26 compared to +20), U17 Vietnam is holding the right to decide before the final match.
