Being in a high seed group gives the Vietnamese women's futsal team a big advantage before the draw. That could help us go further in this tournament, to have a chance to attend the World Cup.

The 2025 AFC Women's Futsal Championship will take place in May 2025 in China. The 12 teams will be drawn into three groups of four teams each. The top two teams in each group and the two best third-placed teams will advance to the quarter-finals.

This year's tournament also serves as the qualifying round for the 2025 Women's Futsal World Cup. Except for the Philippines, the World Cup hosts, the top three teams will qualify for the women's futsal world championship.

The best result that the Vietnamese women's futsal team has ever achieved at the continental level is 4th place in the 2018 tournament. Therefore, if they want to win a ticket to the World Cup, coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang and his team need to make much more effort.
