On November 28, the first match of the 2024 National Women's Cup will take place at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center and Thanh Tri Stadium (Hanoi).
According to the draw results, the defending champion of Vietnam Coal and Minerals is in group B with Thai Nguyen T&T and Hanoi II.
Overall, the task of getting through the group stage is not too difficult for the mining team. However, Diem My and her teammates need to aim for the top spot in the group to gain an advantage before the semi-finals take place. They also really need 2 absolute victories to gain momentum before entering the most stressful stage of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Group A is considered the "group of death" of the 2024 National Women's Cup with the appearance of Hanoi I, Ho Chi Minh City, Phong Phu Ha Nam and Son La.
Ho Chi Minh City has won the championship 3 times, Phong Phu Ha Nam has won the cup once, and Hanoi I has finished second 4 times.
Group A is predicted to be unpredictable, because if there is just one "misstep", the teams risk paying the price with their ticket to the next round.
Even Son La - the team considered the weakest in the group - caused a lot of trouble for their opponents in the national women's championship that just ended not long ago.
The outcome of the knockout matches is even more unpredictable. The owner of the prestigious championship trophy is still a big mystery.
At the 2024 National Women's Football Cup, teams in each group will compete in a round-robin at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center and Thanh Tri to calculate points and rank from November 28 to December 13.
The four teams finishing first and second in each group will compete to determine the champion, second, third and fourth place teams. The remaining three teams will compete in a round robin to compete for fifth, sixth and seventh place.
From the 2023 season, to encourage the teams and motivate the players to contribute more, the organizing committee has increased the bonus for the Champion team to 200 million VND, the Second Place team receives 150 million VND, and the Third Place team receives 100 million VND.
The team that wins the Style Award receives 50 million VND. The best player, the player who scores the most goals, the best goalkeeper, and the referee team that completes their tasks excellently receive 10 million VND.
