On the afternoon of May 23, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) organized an award ceremony for the national women's team and U5 Vietnam after the 22nd SEA Games.

The Vietnamese women's team has now focused again to prepare for the 2023 World Cup final, so coach Mai Duc Chung and all members of the team are present.
U22 Vietnam was disbanded so that the players could return to serve the club, so only a few representative members attended, coach Philippe Troussier was absent.
At the 32nd SEA Games, the Vietnamese women's team finished the group stage with the first place in Group A after two victories (3-0 against Malaysia, 3-1 against Myanmar) and a loss (1-2 against the Philippines). Coach Mai Duc Chung's army has the same 6 points as Myanmar and the Philippines, but ranks above due to more sub-indexes.
