Southeast Asian newspaper comments on Vietnam women's team after regional tournament

Convincingly defeating Thailand, the Vietnamese women's team won 3rd place in Southeast Asia.

Thailand’s leading sports daily Siam Sport wrote: “The Vietnamese women’s football team beat the Thai women’s team 3-1 in the third-place match of the 2025 Southeast Asian Women’s Football Championship on August 19. Because of this result, the Vietnamese women’s team finished third, while the Thai women’s football team finished fourth.”

“The two teams gave the audience a very exciting match, but the Vietnamese women's football team always led the Thai women's football team. At the end of the first half, the home team led the Thai women's team by one goal.

The home team continued to attack in the following minutes. By the 68th minute, the gap was 3-0 for the Vietnamese women's football team," Siam Sport commented on the superiority of the Vietnamese women's team over the Thai women's team in the third-place match.

In this year’s tournament, the Vietnamese women’s football team beat the Thai team twice. The first time, coach Mai Duc Chung’s team beat the Thai women’s team 1-0 in the group stage. The second time, in the third-place match, the Vietnamese women’s football team beat their opponents 3-1.

Siam Sport analyzed: “The Thai women’s football team only scored one goal against the Vietnamese women’s team. In the 87th minute of the third-place match, Wiranya Kaewnakasikkam’s shot hit the post against the Vietnamese women’s team, narrowing the gap to 1-3.”

“However, Thailand did not score any more goals after that. In the end, the Vietnamese women's team won 3-1. As a result, the "Golden Stars" (the nickname of the Vietnamese football teams) won third place in this year's tournament,” the same lines were written in Siam Sport.

Meanwhile, the ASEAN Football website, which specializes in Southeast Asian football, said: "In the final rankings of the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship, U23 Australia won the championship, second place went to Myanmar, and third place went to the Vietnamese women's football team."

“Vietnam women's football team beat Thailand women's team 3-1 in the third-place match,” are still the lines appearing on the ASEAN Football page.

The official fanpage of the Myanmar Football Federation (MFF) said: “The Myanmar women's football team finished second in the Southeast Asian women's football tournament this year. In addition, Myanmar won additional individual titles.”

“Win Theingi Tun won the top scorer title with 7 goals. Goalkeeper Myo Mya Mya Nyein won the best goalkeeper title of the tournament,” added the official fanpage of MFF.

In addition to U23 Australia, Myanmar, Thailand and the Vietnamese women's team will meet again at the 33rd SEA Games, taking place in Thailand this December. The list of candidates for the championship in the women's football event at the 33rd SEA Games also includes the Philippines, the team that was eliminated in the group stage of the Southeast Asian tournament by Myanmar and U23 Australia.
