According to the draw, the Vietnam women’s futsal team were placed in Group B alongside Myanmar, the Philippines and Australia, while Group A consists of hosts Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Commenting on the group, head coach Nguyễn Đình Hoàng noted that competing in a four-team group would present greater challenges due to the higher number of matches compared to Group A. “Myanmar and the Philippines are opponents we have recently faced at the SEA Games and they have shown clear progress, while Australia are considered a strong team that could pose many difficulties for the Vietnam women’s futsal team,” he said.

Regarding the team’s objectives at the tournament, the head coach of the Vietnam women’s futsal team emphasized that the entire squad will strive to perform at their best, with the immediate goal of advancing past the group stage and ultimately aiming for the highest possible finish in the competition.
