At the 2023 Women’s World Cup, the Vietnam women’s team attended and finished at the group stage for the first time, but left a deep impression on the spirit of competition. Throughout the 3 matches in the group stage, despite meeting too strong opponents: the USA, the Netherlands and Portugal, the Vietnam’s players showed the mental strength of Vietnamese women. In particular, in the first match against the USA team, goalkeeper Kim Thanh successfully saved Alex Morgan’s free kick from the 11m point, which made American fans spend time learning about the Vietnam women team as well as Kim Thanh. On the official news sites of FIFA and AFC, they all praised her.
