Huỳnh Như and her sixth SEA Games: Vietnam’s women’s football 'record holder' is not ready to stop yet

At her sixth SEA Games appearance, Huỳnh Như continues to bear the responsibility of leading the Vietnam women's national team to defend their championship under unprecedented pressure.

SEA Games 2025 could become one of the most important milestones in the career of captain Huỳnh Như, who has carried the responsibility of elevating Vietnamese women's football to new heights for over a decade.
