As previously reported, all three matches of the Vietnamese women's team at the 2023 World Cup will take place in New Zealand.
The Vietnamese women's team has been playing quite well recently.
This is a country in the Southern Hemisphere and the time of the biggest women's football festival on the planet will fall in winter.
Winter in New Zealand is the harshest time of year.
It is known that during the winter months, New Zealand has temperatures ranging from 10 to 15 degrees Celsius.
However, sometimes in southern regions, temperatures can drop lower and there may be ice.
Although the frequency of occurrence is not high, these conditions can affect the playing style and tactics of the Vietnamese women's team.
Meanwhile, in Vietnam, Huynh Nhu and her teammates are practicing in hot weather of nearly 40 degrees Celsius.
Having to practice and compete in two locations with opposite weather conditions will certainly cause many difficulties for coach Mai Duc Chung and his team.
It is expected that on July 5, the Vietnamese women's team will leave Hanoi for New Zealand.
Thus, before the opening match of Group E with the reigning world champion USA, the girls in red will have about 15 days to get used to the climate.
During that time, Huynh Nhu and her teammates will have two friendly matches with New Zealand (July 10) and Spain (July 15).
According to the schedule, at the 2023 World Cup, the Vietnamese women's team will face the US (July 22), Portugal (July 27) and the Netherlands (August 1) in the group stage.
