The FIFA homepage lists the 5 most promising players of the Vietnamese women's national team ahead of the 2023 World Cup Finals: Huynh Nhu, Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha, Tran Thi Thuy Trang, Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, and Tran Thi Kim Thanh.
Ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals, the FIFA website published an article introducing the five most promising players of the Vietnamese women's national team. According to the schedule, Coach Mai Duc Chung's team will face the USA (July 22), Portugal (July 27), and the Netherlands (August 1) in Group E.
Forward Huynh Nhu
Agile, skillful, and with a sharp finishing touch, the leading star of the Vietnamese women's national team is always a threat to opposing defenses. Huỳnh Như is currently the top scorer in the history of Vietnamese women's football, with a performance of almost 1 goal per game 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. In the past season, she scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists for her new team.
Forward Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha
At 21 years old, Thanh Nha represents the talented young generation of Vietnamese women's football. She frequently troubles opposing defenses with her speed and skillful dribbling.
Thanh Nhã is in excellent form ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals and scored a spectacular goal against Myanmar to seal a 2-0 victory for the Vietnamese women's team in the SEA Games 32 final. She is also a versatile weapon in the hands of coach Mai Đức Chung, as Thanh Nhã can play well on both wings and in the center of the attack.
Midfielder Tran Thi Thuy Trang
Thùy Trang is an experienced player with leadership qualities in the Vietnamese women's national team. Coach Mai Đức Chung once described her as an ideal role model for young players.
The 34-year-old midfielder is an inspiration and capable of igniting the fighting spirit of the entire team, with her tireless playing style and enthusiastic spirit. Furthermore, Thùy Trang is a calm midfielder when in possession and will play a crucial role in helping the Vietnamese national team control the tempo of the game.
Midfielder Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy
Bich Thuy has played for the Vietnamese women's national team for 10 years and has gradually become one of the most influential players. She scored the historic goal against Chinese Taipei, helping the Vietnamese women's national team qualify for the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals.
This goal was a moment where Bich Thuy shone, showcasing her best qualities. She skillfully controlled her teammate's pass before unleashing a decisive shot. In an interview with FIFA, Bich Thuy confidently shared that she will reach her peak form to help the Vietnamese women's national team make an impression at the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals.
Goalkeeper Tran Thi Kim Thanh
The Vietnamese women's national team's achievement of qualifying for the 2023 World Cup Finals owes a great deal to goalkeeper Kim Thanh's outstanding 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 a spot in the 2023 Women's World Cup Finals, goalkeeper Kim Thanh displayed outstanding form in two matches against Thailand and Chinese Taipei, contributing to the victories of the Vietnamese women's national team.
