Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnamese women’s national futsal team left for Manila, the Philippines, on November 14 to compete in the 2024 ASEAN Women’s Futsal Championship, slated for November 17 - 20.

The final roster of 16 players, including two goalkeepers, are ready for action after coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang made final cuts post-training camp, releasing Bui Thi Thuong, Danh Lam Kim Phung, Ngo Thi Hong Nhung, and goalkeeper Le Trinh Khanh Linh, according to the Vietnam Football Federation.

Hoang shared his satisfaction with the team’s morale and preparations, saying the players are determined to deliver a top performance at the tournament.

The coach shared his assessment of the team’s opponents, noting that the first match is always a tough one.

Regarding Myanmar, he mentioned that while the coaching staff have limited information on the team's playing style, they have devised tactics to counter Myanmar’s advantages in physical strength and height.

He acknowledged that subsequent opponents are equally competitive, especially Thailand - a particularly strong team in the region. Given the tight match schedule, he emphasised the need to approach each game carefully, with the aim of achieving the best possible results.

Vietnam will start with a technical meeting and pre-tournament press conference on November 16 before facing a tough lineup in the tournament.

The squad will open against Myanmar on November 17, followed by matches against Indonesia, hosts the Philippines, and Thailand on November 18, 19, and 20, respectively./.
