Despite defeating the Vietnamese team, the Thai coach still expressed regret over missing numerous opportunities.

The Vietnamese women's futsal team could not get past host Thailand, suffering a 2-4 defeat in the semifinals of the 2026 ASEAN Women's Futsal Championship, setting up a bronze medal contest against Indonesia. The host Thai team, in contrast, will play the final against Australia.

Thanathorn Santanaprasit, head coach of the Thai women's futsal team, stated: "In this match, I must praise all the players for competing with high determination and a strong desire to defeat the Vietnamese team to secure a spot in the final.

There were periods when the match was quite balanced. We urged the players to compete more fiercely because any lapse would give the Vietnamese team more space to play and grow in confidence. After we scored to take the lead, the team proceeded to rotate the squad.

Regarding the player who was injured and had to be carried off on a stretcher, the situation is not serious and she may return to play. Currently, only Sasikan Thongdee is not yet at 100% fitness.

After this match, we need to place greater emphasis on finishing, as many missed chances caused the game to become stagnant at times.

In the upcoming match against Australia, they are a team with excellent physical conditioning. Today they faced Indonesia, employing a half-court defense and using a target striker very effectively, so we must be extremely cautious."

According to the schedule, the Thai women's futsal team will play the final of the ASEAN Women's Futsal Championship against Australia (world rank 66) at Terminal Hall, Terminal 21 Korat Shopping Mall, Nakhon Ratchasima province, on March 2, 2026, at 6:30 PM.

Conversely, coach Nguyễn Đình Hoàng and his squad will face Indonesia in the bronze medal match, scheduled for March 2 at 3:00 PM.
