FIFA names 5 Vietnamese female players at World Cup 2023

Ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals, the FIFA homepage has published an article introducing the 5 most worth-watching players of the Vietnam Women's National Team. According to the match schedule, Coach Mai Duc Chung and his team will meet the US (July 22), Portugal (July 27) and the Netherlands (August 1) in Group E.

Striker Huynh Nhu

Quick, skillful and with a sharp finish, the leading star of the Vietnam Women's Team is always a threat to the opposing defense. Huynh Nhu is currently the best scorer in the history of Vietnamese women's football, with an efficiency of almost 1 goal/match at the international level.

Last year, Huynh Nhu became the first Vietnamese female player to play professionally in Europe, when she joined Lank FC in the Portuguese Women's National Championship. During the past season, she scored 7 goals and had 2 assists for her new team.

Striker Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha

At the age of 21, Thanh Nha is a representative of the talented young generation of Vietnamese women's football. She often torments opposing defenses with her speed and cunning dribbling.

Thanh Nha is in very good form ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals and scored a super goal against Myanmar to seal a 2-0 victory for the Vietnam Women's Team in the 32nd SEA Games final. This is also a versatile weapon in the hands of Coach Mai Duc Chung, as Thanh Nha can play well on both wings and in the center of the attack.

Midfielder Tran Thi Thuy Trang

Thuy Trang is an experienced face and possesses leadership qualities of the Vietnam Women's Team. Coach Mai Duc Chung once described her as an ideal role model for young players.

The 34-year-old midfielder is an inspiration and has the ability to ignite the fighting spirit of the whole team, with her tireless playing style and enthusiastic spirit. In addition, Thuy Trang is a calm midfielder when holding the ball and will play a key role in helping the Vietnam team control the tempo of the match.

Midfielder Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy

Bich Thuy has played for the Vietnam Women's National Team for 10 years and has gradually become one of the most influential players. She was the author of the historic goal against Chinese Taipei, helping the Vietnam Women's National Team win a ticket to the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals.

This goal was the moment Bich Thuy shone with her best qualities. She skillfully handled her teammate's pass and then launched a decisive shot. Bich Thuy confidently shared in a FIFA interview that she will be at her best to help the Vietnam Women's Team make an impression in the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals.

Goalkeeper Tran Thi Kim Thanh

The achievement of qualifying for the 2023 World Cup Finals of the Vietnamese women's team was greatly contributed by goalkeeper Kim Thanh with her excellent performance at the 2022 Women's Asian Cup. Her reflexes and sharpness helped Kim Thanh become the goalkeeper with the most saves in last year's tournament.

In the play-off round for tickets to the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals, goalkeeper Kim Thanh showed excellent performance in 2 matches against Thailand and Chinese Taipei, contributing to the victories of the Vietnam Women's Team.
