This is the first time in history that the Vietnamese women's futsal team has won the Southeast Asian championship. It is worth mentioning that the Vietnamese girls have brought home the first championship for the country's football in 2024. The defeat of the world's 6th ranked team in the final shows the position of the Vietnamese women's futsal team. Thai newspapers also expressed disappointment when witnessing the home team's defeat to coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang and his team. Siam Sport commented: "Unfortunately, the Thai women's futsal team fell in the final match of the Southeast Asian women's futsal tournament to the Vietnamese futsal team. A few days ago, Thailand easily defeated this opponent with a score of 3-0 in the final match of the group stage. However, the Vietnamese women's futsal team showed a different face in extra time. Phuong Anh's fateful goal in the second minute of extra time shattered Thailand's hopes of winning the championship. After this defeat, the Thai coaching staff will urgently meet to learn from experience for the 2025 Asian women's futsal tournament." Thai PBS emphasized: "Thailand had many opportunities to score but the opponent played very tenaciously. Goalkeeper Thuy Linh and the Vietnamese defense played excellently. In extra time, the Vietnamese futsal team rose up and made Thailand regret. This is the first time the Vietnamese women's futsal team has won the Southeast Asian championship. Thailand needs to prepare more carefully before the Asian tournament next year."

Khaosod newspaper headlined: "Thai women's futsal team lost the Southeast Asian championship to Vietnam women's team for the first time". This newspaper commented: "In fact, the rematch with Vietnam women's futsal team was not easy for Thailand. The opponent played too tightly, causing Thailand to not be able to perform as well as in the group stage match. If the women's futsal team was cold in the two regular halves, they were sharp in extra time. They scored two goals to win against Thailand". Thairath newspaper quoted the head coach of Thailand women's futsal team, Surapong Plaiyuwong, speaking after the match with Vietnam women's futsal team. He shared: "I apologize to Thai fans when the team could not win the championship. I also congratulate the Vietnamese women's futsal team. You played very well. We should have scored in the two regular periods but could not do so. Then, the team made a mistake in extra time and had to pay the price. The whole team did not play with concentration. The members of Thailand were all sad because they could not win the championship."
