To encourage morale and cheer for Vietnam Women’s Team At the Women’s World Cup (Women’s World Cup) 2023, President of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) Tran Quoc Tuan and members of the Executive Committee went to Eden Park Stadium to watch the match of coach Mai Duc Chung’s teachers and students at 13:00 noon on July 22 (local time).
After the match, VFF leaders expressed their satisfaction with the brave spirit and efforts of the female players.
The VFF’s standing committee offers a reward of VND 800 million to encourage the Vietnam Women’s Team to continue training and perform well in the next matches at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
The match between Vietnam Women’s Team and US Women’s Team also received enthusiastic support from Vietnamese fans in New Zealand.
Sharing after the match, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Nguyen Van Trung praised the performance of the players and shared the joy of the fans here when they were able to directly watch and cheer for the Vietnamese team in an exciting match.
Although the time of the match was in the morning in Vietnam, the “diamond” girls still received enthusiastic support from a large number of fans at home.
Captain Huynh Nhu said that she and the whole team received many messages of encouragement and encouragement from relatives and the audience: “This is a source of motivation for the whole team to be determined and strong to compete.”
It was thanks to this strong spirit that the Vietnam Women’s Team had a good performance against the reigning World Champion – Team USA.
Although the US Women’s Team is completely superior in bodybuilding, physical strength as well as technique and experience in international competitions, the Vietnamese women’s players have played with resilience, rolling, and preventing consecutive attacks of their opponents.
After more than 100 minutes of competition (including injury time), the “golden girls” of Vietnam only lost with a score of 0-3, much lower than the previous predictions of experts.
This is a positive result when compared to the 0-13 loss of the Thai Women’s Team against the US team at the 2019 Women’s World Cup.

Meanwhile, BBC Sports commented: “The Vietnam Women’s Team fought in every ball against the US Women’s Team. They played confidently in this match, not backing down against the best team in the world. The US team got what they wanted to win 3 points. The Vietnamese Women’s team also got the results they wanted – that is the respect of world football.”
