At this year's tournament, the team suffered a big loss when captain Thanh Hang could not participate due to injury. This is a regrettable loss, because she is an important factor in the playing style as well as the spirit of the whole team. According to coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang, the coaching staff has prepared alternative options and "due to the absence of a captain, the whole team still maintains a high determination".
Recent training sessions have shown clear focus and progress, especially in the group of young players - who are expected to take on a bigger role in the tournament. The opening match against Indonesia is expected to be challenging as the opponent has a fast and physical playing style. However, the coach believes that the students will have enough courage to aim for "playing well and completing the tasks at this Congress".
With serious preparation, consensus and support from fans, the Vietnam women's futsal team is looking forward to the opening match of the 33rd SEA Games with the determination to achieve favorable results, creating momentum for the journey ahead.
