THE 2025 ASEAN Women’s Championship, organized by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), is scheduled for June with eight teams including Team Myanmar.
Indonesia has been chosen as the host country for this year’s tournament. While the competition is scheduled for June, the AFF has yet to announce the specific dates for the event and the group stage draw. The 2025 championship will feature a revamped format, following the 2024 AFF Women’s Cup’s qualifying structure.
Last year, six lower-ranked teams were split into two groups for qualifiers, with Indonesia claiming the championship title, Cambodia as runners-up, and Singapore securing third place. Higher-ranked teams, including Myanmar, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, directly advanced to the main competition without needing qualifiers.
The Myanmar women’s national team is currently undergoing intensive training for several international tournaments this year. In February, the team will participate in a four-nation invitational tournament in Nepal. Myanmar will then compete in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup qualifiers and the 33rd Thailand SEA Games. — Ko Nyi Lay/KZL
