Meeting the team at the Hanoi-based Vietnam Youth Football Training Centre, PM Chinh emphasized that the qualification for the World Cup is a truly remarkable achievement and an important milestone, placing the Vietnamese team among the strong ones in the world. This elevates the position of Vietnam’s football in general and its women's football in particular.

The Government leader noted that while victory is essential, the spirit of competition and the world’s recognition and evaluation of the outstanding progress made by the nation’s female football are even more important.

He hoped that in the upcoming tournament, the "golden girls" of Vietnam will give their all to bring glory to the country.

The 23-strong squad will depart for New Zealand on Wednesday. They will have nearly two weeks to adapt to the conditions at the venue for Group E matches in the tournament. In the group stage, they will face the US, Portugal, and the Netherlands.
