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.
Ahead of the final, head coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang said: "We defeated Thailand to win the international friendly tournament not long ago, so I think they will be more cautious and calculating when meeting the Vietnamese women's futsal team again in the final of the 2024 Southeast Asian women's futsal tournament.
The coaching staff has been watching and seeing that their players have developed more, with many good, quality players. Their attacks are also more diverse. We have also considered and have a plan to confront Thailand.
The team that has better rhythm, better mentality, and controls the situations in the match will have the advantage to win."
