The Vietnamese women's team will open ASIAD 2026 with a confrontation with Taiwan (China) at Shizuoka Ecopa Stadium (Japan).

The Vietnamese women's team has just gone through a training camp in Suzhou (China). The team won against Jiangsu Suning Club 1-0 before losing to the Chinese women's team 0-3. Two friendly matches helped the coaching staff review the force and complete the preparation plan for ASIAD.
Meanwhile, Taiwan (China) is a familiar opponent of the Vietnamese women's team. At ASIAD 2018, the two teams drew 0-0 after 90 minutes, before Vietnam lost 3-4 in the penalty shootout. At the Asian Cup in March 2026, the Vietnamese women's team continued to lose 0-1 to this team.
In the previous 10 encounters, the Vietnamese women's team won 5, drew 2 and lost 3 matches. Head-to-head record leans towards Vietnam, but the gap between the two teams is not large.
After the opening match, the Vietnamese women's team will meet Japan on September 17 and Thailand on September 21. Getting points against Taiwan (China) will be an important result in the process of competing for a place in the quarterfinals.
Currently, no television station in Vietnam owns the copyright to ASIAD 20 in general and football in particular.
