The teams will compete in a single round-robin format for ranking points.

According to the schedule, the championship will take place from November 16 to 21 in the Philippines. The Vietnamese women’s futsal team will face Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand on November 17, 18, 19, and 20, respectively.

To prepare for the 2024 AFF Women’s Futsal Championship, the Vietnamese women’s futsal team, under the leadership of head coach Nguyễn Đình Hoàng, officially gathered in mid-October 2024 at the Futsal Club Stadium in District 8 (Ho Chi Minh City). Coach Nguyễn Đình Hoàng and his team aim to strive for a spot in the final of the regional women’s futsal competition while also looking ahead to the AFC Women’s Futsal Qualifiers in December in Thailand.
Regarding the team’s goals, head coach Đình Hoàng stated: “The entire team is focused on preparing for the AFF Championship, with a longer-term plan to get ready for the Asian qualifiers in January 2025. The coaching staff is working to refine the team’s overall play, enhance the technical skills of each athlete, improve the team’s mental toughness, and increase the intensity and pace of our game. In the upcoming Southeast Asian Championship, we aim to achieve the highest possible ranking and compete for a spot in the finals of the Asian qualifiers.”
