Vietnam Women's U17 is Ready for the AFC Women's U17 Asian Cup 2026 Finals

The Vietnam Women's U17 team enters the AFC Women's U17 Asian Cup 2026 Finals with the mindset of a youthful, ambitious squad, yet also faces numerous challenges. The tournament, held in Suzhou (China), gathers the 12 strongest teams from the continent. For Coach Okiyama Masahiko and his players, this is both a platform to gain experience and an opportunity to demonstrate the progress of Vietnam's youth women's football.

The team's preparation is considered relatively systematic. The training camp in Japan helped the players adapt to high-intensity competition, while significantly improving their physical fitness and tactical organization. Although the friendly match results were not particularly outstanding, draws against quality opponents show clear progress, especially in tactical execution and adaptability.

In the group stage, Vietnam Women's U17 is placed in Group A alongside China Women's U17, Thailand Women's U17, and Myanmar Women's U17. This is a highly competitive group, as all three opponents possess strong youth development foundations and extensive international experience.

Host nation China is clearly the biggest challenge. They not only excel in physique and stamina but also benefit from home advantage and a strong tradition in youth tournaments. Meanwhile, Thailand has always been a familiar rival for Vietnam women's football in Southeast Asia, with a technical and fast-paced style. Myanmar should not be underestimated, as they have heavily invested in women's football in recent years, particularly at the youth level.

According to AFC's assessment, the main limitations of Vietnam Women's U17 lie in experience and consistency. The team has only participated in the Finals once, in 2019, and stopped at the group stage. However, securing qualification this year by topping their qualifying group shows positive signs in both technical aspects and serious preparation.

Facing a tough group, the goal of advancing past the group stage will be a significant challenge. Nevertheless, if they maintain disciplined play, effectively utilize their collective style, and seize opportunities in crucial matches, Vietnam Women's U17 can certainly create surprises.
