The Vietnam women's futsal team had an unexpected start in Group B of the 2026 Southeast Asian Women's Futsal Championship on the afternoon of 24/2, losing 0-2 to Australia, despite creating many chances under coach Nguyễn Đình Hoàng but failing to convert them.
This recent loss puts coach Nguyễn Đình Hoàng’s team in a position where they must secure full points in the remaining two matches, starting with the clash against the Philippines. In their opening match, the Philippines beat Myanmar 1-0 thanks to a goal by pivot Tolentin in the 14th minute. Recent performances show significant improvement for this team, particularly with strong fitness and superior physicality that help them compete effectively in duels and maintain a balanced game.
Looking at their head-to-head history, the Vietnam women's futsal team remains dominant, winning all three prior matches against the Philippines. However, their most recent victory at SEA Games 33 was hard-fought, with Vietnam only managing a 1-0 win thanks to Nguyệt Vi’s goal, despite better possession and control of the game.
This result partly indicates that the Philippines are no longer an easy opponent. Under pressure to win to keep their hopes alive, the Vietnam women's futsal team is expected to face significant challenges when they meet the Philippines again in the second round of the 2026 Southeast Asian Women's Futsal Championship.
