The Vietnam women's national team will enter the first semifinal against Indonesia as clear favorites. Despite Indonesia's efforts to improve, they are still not at the level of the reigning SEA Games champions.
Indonesia reached the semifinals mainly due to tournament upheavals rather than their own strength. Cambodia's withdrawal left Group A with only three teams, creating an opportunity forIndonesiato secure a guaranteed spot after defeating Singapore, who was rated the lowest in the group.
The 2025 Southeast Asian Championship last August in Hai Phong and the recent 0-8 loss to Thailand in the opening match of SEA Games 33 clearly show that Indonesia struggles to compete with the region's top teams.
