The Vietnamese women's national team received a significant morale boost ahead of the SEA Games 33 when VFF Vice President Tran Anh Tu visited the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center to encourage the entire team, affirming his commitment to ensuring all logistical conditions are met so that their journey to defend their title is meticulously prepared.

Meeting with coach Mai Duc Chung and his team, VFF Vice President Tran Anh Tu emphasized: “With 8 championship titles, including 4 consecutive ones, the Vietnamese women's national team is a source of pride for Vietnamese football. Let's play with Vietnamese spirit, with a burning desire to win and an unyielding attitude.” He encouraged the entire team to maintain their focus on professional performance, while affirming the VFF's commitment to ensuring full logistical support and a supportive regime so that the team can concentrate on training.
Preparation framework for SEA Games 33: training in Nagoya, optimizing physical fitness.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese women's national team will have a training camp in Nagoya (Japan) in November, thereby improving their physical fitness and gaining experience through international friendly matches.

Emotional and professional support: a foundation from behind the scenes.
Two direct meetings between VFF leaders and the team within a short period created a double effect: strengthening internal confidence and maintaining focus during the training phase. The assurance regarding logistics and training arrangements allowed the coaching staff to optimize the physical and tactical training program, minimizing distractions off the field.
Emphasizing "comprehensive preparation"—from physical fitness and technical skills to mental fortitude—also sets a clear development trajectory for the team in the final stretch: the pace of play under high-intensity conditions, tactical discipline in friendly matches, and the ability to handle the pressure of carrying the gold medal goal.
