Vietnamese female footballers go home after winning historic ticket to World Cup finals.

Before coming to India for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2022, more than half of the members had been infected with COVID-19, but the team gradually regained sufficient personnel before the start of the tournament. Thanks to their undaunted spirit and Chung’s leadership, the players did their utmost in every match, especially the games against Myanmar, Thailand, and Chinese Taipei, to secure a place in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.

Chung highly appreciated leaders and fans’ support, which he said helped the team surmount all hardships to go down in history with a berth in the World Cup.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is scheduled to meet with the team at the Government’s Office later on the day.

According to the Vietnam Football Federation, the PM’s certificates of merit will be presented to 29 individuals with preeminent performance at the Asian Cup. As recommended by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh also proposed the State President bestow Labor Orders upon one collective and eight individuals for their achievement.
