The Vietnamese women's futsal team reached the final of the Southeast Asian futsal tournament after four matches in the group stage, where they won three and lost one. That defeat came against Thailand with a score of 3-0.
Thailand has an advantage in terms of schedule compared to Vietnam, as coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang and his team have just played 4 matches in 4 days. On the other side, the opponent has alternating matches, so their physical strength is more guaranteed.
Currently, the Vietnamese women's futsal team is ranked 11th in the world. In Asia, they are ranked 4th after Thailand (ranked 6th), Iran (ranked 9th) and Japan (10th).
Previously, the two teams had a 2-2 draw in a friendly tournament in Thailand at the end of September, with the Vietnamese women's team winning the overall championship. Therefore, this match will have an equal chance of winning for both sides.
The 2024 Southeast Asian Women's Futsal Championship will feature five teams: Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia and host Philippines. The five teams will compete in a round-robin format to determine rankings. The top two teams will meet in the final.
