Meanwhile, Group B with host Cambodia in B1 position has only 4 teams, Thailand, Singapore and Laos.
The drawing ceremony for two SEA Games football took place on the afternoon of April 5 at Morodok Techo Stadium. The host organizers took the initiative to appoint the number 1 seed group. Normally, the host will be in position A1, but this time, the defending champion is in Group A.
Group A is forecasted to cause many difficulties for gold medal candidates such as Vietnam, Philippines and Myanmar. Coach Mai Duc Chung's teachers and students will play one match more than the teams in Group B.
Women's football will be played from April 29 to May 16 at two locations in Phnom Penh, the Army Stadium (with a capacity of 8,000 seats) and Smart RSN (with a capacity of 5,000 seats).
Currently, the Vietnamese women's team is present in Nepal to attend the first qualifying round of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. They will play two matches with the home team to find a place in the second qualifying round.
