Speaking to the press, Coach Mai Duc Chung explained the reason for wanting to organize this match: “The male players also play fast and strong like the Australian women's team. They are still strong, playing long balls and high balls very well. I hope they will play like the Australian team. The PVF U16 and Hanoi U15 are the same. The boys are very strong and fast, so we cannot be slow.
I made this schedule because of the experience of the Olympic qualifiers in Korea. At that time, we did not have any friendly matches so many players were still confused. Thanks to this series of matches, in the future, we will not be confused anymore."
The list of the U23 veteran team to practice with the women's team has not been officially finalized. The players have not yet received invitations, but coach Mai Duc Chung confirmed that an agreement has been reached and this is an important activity to prepare the Vietnamese women's team for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic play-offs.
The next opponent of the Vietnamese women's team is the Australian team. This team is currently ranked 7th in the FIFA rankings and is the current runner-up in Asia. The first leg will take place on March 6 at McDonald Jones Stadium (Newcastle, Australia) and the return leg is expected to take place in Cam Pha on March 11.
