Vietnam’s head coach to visit 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup venues in New Zealand

The month-long competition will take place from July 20 to August 20 next year in Australia and New Zealand — the first co-hosts in the history of the Women’s World Cup.

A draw on Saturday put Vietnam in Group E with the U.S., the Netherlands, and an as-yet-unknown winner of the play-off among Thailand, Cameroon, and Portugal.

All games in the group will be organized in New Zealand.

According to the schedule, the Vietnamese women’s football team will take on the U.S. on July 22, 2023 in Auckland, the play-off winner on July 27, 2023 in Hamilton, and the Netherlands on August 1, 2023 in Dunedin.

Coach Mai Duc Chung and his delegation are poised to visit the three cities from Monday through Thursday to examine the competition venues and select hotels for his team, who will start their training in Germany in early 2023.

The Vietnam Football Federation said it will bring the team to New Zealand early before the opening of the World Cup for getting used to the weather and time zone as July is summer in Vietnam but winter in New Zealand.

Experts have assessed Group E as a hard row to hoe for Vietnam, who are currently 34th in the world ranking and will be playing in the World Cup for the first time while their opponents include two powerhouses the U.S. and the Netherlands. 

The U.S. are the defending and four-time champions in 1991, 1999, 2015, and 2019 and the number-one team in the world ranking, while the Netherlands are eighth and the runners-up of the 2019 World Cup.

However, Chung and the players have expressed their excitement for next year’s encounters and yearn to work hard and play hard for the best possible result.

Next summer’s World Cup will be the largest women’s sporting event in history with 32 countries, up by eight from the previous tournament and double the number in 2011. 

Twenty-nine teams have already qualified, with Morocco, the Philippines, Ireland, and Zambia joining Vietnam in making their tournament debuts. 

Ten others will be competing in three intercontinental play-offs in February, when the last three invitations will be handed out.

The top two teams from each four-team group will advance to the knockout rounds.

Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport. While it may be a niche profession, Greenhalgh appears to be doing well and enjoying his role. Jasmine Lee, the match commentator, explains that an engineer, who happened to be a mas...

Vietnam fail to solve Singapore’s defense in goalless AFF Cup clash

Vietnam had a difficult game at Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore as they struggled to find a way through the disciplined and multi-layered defense of the hosts. The 2008 and 2018 winners, who started with a line-up including many reserved players, barely created a relevant chance in the first half. In the second half, Vietnam put several key players in and created more profound attacks. However, Singapore’s defense remained solid. Vietnamese striker Nguyen Tien Linh, forward Nguyen Van Quyet and midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc had many good chances to score, but all of them ended up in vain as their precision was lacked. Vietnam were the closest to goal when Nguyen Hoang Duc’s shot hit the post in the 84th minute. The 0-0 draw against Singapore still retains Vietnam’s top spot in Group B and leaves the door to the semifinals wide open for the two-time winners. The Vietnamese will only be eliminated if they lost to Myanmar from eight goals and Malaysia defeat Singapore in the la...
