The team has participated in the tournament 11 times, with the highest achievement being the championship in 2007 in Chongqing, China. Most recently, North Korea U20 won the runner-up position in 2019, which took place in Thailand.

Facing a strong opponent, the U20 Vietnam women's team still tried very hard. Coach Akira let the players boldly advance to find scoring opportunities.

In fact, the Vietnamese U20 women's team had a few chances but could not trouble the opponent's defense. Meanwhile, the North Korean U20 women's team only needed 52 minutes to decide the match, with 6 goals scored.

After two defeats with a total of 16 goals, the U20 women's team of Vietnam was eliminated in the group stage before one round. This was not a surprising result because the opponents of Minh Chuyen and his teammates were all very strong. In the preliminary match, coach Akira's team met China at 3:00 p.m. on March 10.
