Vietnam U17 women's team accumulates experience through friendly matches in Japan
Vietnam U17 women's team won 1 victory and 1 draw in a series of friendly matches in Japan, continuing to accumulate experience before the 2026 AFC U17 Women's Championship.
In the first match on April 7, U17 Vietnam women's team won 5-0 against Fujieda Junshin High School team. Coach Okiyama Masahiko's students showed proactiveness in deploying their playing style, maintaining a reasonable attacking pace and effectively taking advantage of opportunities to score goals. This is considered a positive performance of the team in the force preparation phase.
In the second friendly match on April 8 against Iwata Higashi High School, U17 Vietnam women's team drew 0-0. Although unable to score, the team still controlled the game well at many times and created some notable opportunities towards the opponent's goal. However, finishing ability is still a point that needs to be further improved in the coming time.
According to the plan, the Vietnam U17 women's team will play an additional friendly match with Aichi Toho University on April 11 before closing the training camp in Japan.
The coaching staff expects this series of international sparring matches to help young players improve their competitive spirit, accumulate experience and improve their playing style, aiming for positive results at the upcoming 2026 AFC U17 Women's Championship finals.
