On the evening of May 8, the group stage of the 2026 AFC U17 Women's Championship closed, thereby determining 4 matches in the quarter-finals. The Vietnam U17 Women's Team will face the Australian U17 Women's Team at 2:00 PM on May 11 at the To Chau Sports Center stadium.
Sharing after winning a ticket to the quarterfinals with the team, goalkeeper Tran Thi Cam My said that she had more valuable experiences in her first participation in a continental tournament.
It's lucky that the team is in a group with U17 Thailand women's team, U17 Myanmar women's team are moderate opponents and U17 China women's team is very strong. Through that, I learned a lot," the goalkeeper born in 2009 said.
Cam My assessed that the competition environment at the tournament has significantly higher speed and intensity compared to domestic tournaments, helping her accumulate more professional experience.
Commenting on the opponent in the quarter-finals, the goalkeeper of Vietnam U17 women's team said that Australia U17 women's team possesses good physique and fitness. However, she is still confident in the competitiveness of the whole team.
I will prepare carefully to limit the opponent's attacking situations. U17 women's Australia is strong and has a height advantage, but I believe our team can compete," Cam My shared.
Besides the team goal, this goalkeeper is also determined to maintain stable form and minimize conceding goals.
In the afternoon of May 9, the Vietnam U17 women's team had an early training session to get used to the playing time after the two group stage matches taking place in the evening. The coaching staff mainly asked the players to maintain their physical condition, and at the same time reviewed professional content.
According to the plan, on the morning of May 10, the team will visit the stadium before entering the afternoon training session to complete the final preparation for the quarter-final match against U17 women's Australia.
