At 13:30 today, February 26, the Vietnam Women's Futsal team will play the decisive Group B match of the 2026 Southeast Asian Women's Futsal Championship against Myanmar. This encounter is crucial for coach Nguyễn Đình Hoàng’s squad in their quest to qualify for the semifinals.
After two matches, the Vietnamese women have 3 points from a 2-0 win over the Philippines but suffered a 0-2 loss to Australia, making Group B very competitive. Meanwhile, Myanmar has lost all matches and is almost out of contention. However, their position with nothing to lose could make them unpredictable.
Theoretically, a win against Myanmar would give Vietnam 6 points and a strong advantage to advance to the semifinals, especially since Australia is favored over the Philippines in their simultaneous match. Nevertheless, futsal is full of surprises and demands full concentration for the entire 40 minutes.
In their most recent meeting at SEA Games 33, Vietnam defeated Myanmar 4-2, but the skill gap was not large. Myanmar employs a tough counter-attacking defensive style, ready to punish any defensive mistakes.
The key for the Vietnamese women's team lies in finishing ability and defensive composure, both of which showed weaknesses in the loss to Australia. If they start proactively, control the game well, and capitalize on early chances, they can fully dictate the outcome.
This match is not only a battle for advancement but also a test of the Vietnam women's futsal team’s resilience on the verge of the semifinals. A convincing win will boost the entire team’s confidence for the challenges ahead.
