On the evening of July 26, midfielder Tran Thi Thuy Trang won the 2024 Vietnam Women's Golden Ball award. This is a worthy achievement for the 37-year-old player after devoting himself to Vietnamese football.
After the award ceremony, not only experts and domestic fans sent their congratulations, the FIFA Women's World Cup fanpage posted a photo of a Vietnamese female player with the caption: "Throw off your hat in admiration! ".
In 2024, Thuy Trang made her mark in both indoor and outdoor football and futsal.The midfielder born in 1988 won the national women's football championship with Ho Chi Minh City I women's club, and at the same time, won the Southeast Asian women's futsal championship with the Vietnam women's futsal team and passed the 2025 Asian women's futsal qualifiers.
In May, the Vietnam women's futsal team will continue to participate in the 2025 Asian Women's Futsal Championship to win a ticket to the Women's Futsal World Cup in the Philippines.
Currently, Thuy Trang has the opportunity to enter the history of the country's football. If the Vietnamese team is among the 3 teams with the best results at the 2025 Asian Women's Futsal Championship, the 2024 Vietnam Women's Golden Ball will participate in the Women's World Cup in both indoor and futsal.
Previously, in 2023, Thuy Trang and the Vietnam women's team qualified for the Women's World Cup in New Zealand. Unfortunately, in that tournament, the player born in 1988 did not have the opportunity to play.
