On the morning of May 18, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) conducted the draw for the second qualifying round of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Vietnam women's team will face Japan women's team in the 2024 Olympic qualifiers
According to the announced results, the girls in red fell into group C with the presence of Japan, India and Uzbekistan.
In this round, the biggest opponent of the Vietnamese women's team is Japan - the team ranked 2nd in Asia and 11th in the world.
Besides, the Indian women's team is ranked 11th in Asia and 61st in the world. While Uzbekistan is ranked 10th in Asia and 50th in the world.
With such a group, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team are expected to face many difficulties in competing for tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Also according to the draw results, in group A there are the women's teams of Australia, Taiwan, Philippines and Iran.
Group B includes the women's teams of China, South Korea, Thailand and North Korea.
The teams will compete in a round robin format. The top three teams in each group and the second-placed team with the best record will advance to the next round.
Here, 4 teams are divided into two pairs and compete in a home-away format. The two winning teams will have tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
With such a harsh competition format, it will be very difficult for the Vietnamese women's team to win a ticket to Paris next year.
