Fans hope the Vietnamese women's national team undergoes thorough changes.

The Vietnamese women's national team could not progress beyond the group stage of the 2026 Asian Cup following a 0-4 defeat against Japan's women's team. After this disappointing outcome, many fans desire women's football to implement positive, thorough changes that foster breakthroughs.

"It is necessary to re-plan strategies and focus on developing the next generation of players, organizing more youth tournaments so female players can accumulate experience. Importantly, hiring a high-caliber coach to enhance the women's football team's capabilities is crucial. Coach Mai Đức Chung needs time to rest with his family and loved ones.", facebook Hoàng Pham shared his viewpoint.

"Looking back at the journey, it's clear the team national women's Vietnam has many existing issues. It's difficult to detail them, but this is almost a systemic flaw of Vietnam's entire women's football foundation. In the domestic league, only about 5-6 clubs have operational resources, and the national championship has remained with just that number of teams for years.

Currently, players have received salary increases and improved training conditions. But the core issue remains the lack of abundant resources for youth training. After this failure, perhaps it's the right time for Vietnamese women's football to undergo thorough reform, developing under a clearer, deeper direction.", facebook Hoài Vũ hopes women's football undergoes thorough reform.

"After rising, there comes a time to fall. Since the World Cup participation, it's evident the sisters' performance has declined significantly. Waiting for the next generation to take over.", facebook Hoàng Giang commented.

"During a transitional phase, with much youth integration, failure is unavoidable. Looking at the lineup, most are young players. Huỳnh Như's generation mostly can only play 45 minutes. Don't blame or expect too much from them, pity the girls.", facebook Nguyen Anh Dung shared regarding the Vietnamese women's national team's defeat.

"With the current squad, failure seems normal; there aren't many standout young talents, physical condition hasn't improved. The women's national championship remains unchanged for years, still with the same old coach and old mindset, making it hard to achieve major breakthroughs.", facebook Dangen Duy explained the Vietnamese women's national team's failure.

"It's necessary to enhance the quality of the national league, the quantity and quality of teams, youth training efforts, improve physique and fitness... Overall, many other issues need change. As things stand, they are increasingly lagging behind, feeling sorry for the players.", facebook Nguyễn Việt Hoang hopes for changes in women's football.

"Vietnamese women's football currently seems almost at its limit. Young players lack many quality individuals, aren't given early opportunities to train with the national team, and have short professional careers. Therefore, any project or strategy must first improve youth training and the next generation.

Additionally, policies could be created to attract overseas Vietnamese to return and compete. Previously, Ho Chi Minh City women's club had very quality overseas Vietnamese players. The national women's Vietnam team also needs a better coach with a more modern vision to replace Coach Mai Đức Chung, who has become too fatigued.", facebook Khoa Nguyen hopes for more overseas Vietnamese players to compete for the Vietnamese women's national team.

After the 2026 Asian Cup finals, the Vietnamese women's national team will return to Vietnam today (March 12). Players will join their clubs to prepare for the national championship scheduled for mid-May. The failure at the 2026 Asian Cup finals is an opportunity for Vietnamese women's football to undergo thorough reform, aiming for more positive changes.
