THE final day of Group B matches in the 2025 ASEAN Women’s Championship in Vietnam takes place today, with Myanmar facing defending champions the Philippines.

Both Group B matches will kick off simultaneously at 7 pm Myanmar Standard Time, with Myanmar meeting the Philippines and Australia taking on Timor-Leste. After two matches each, Myanmar lead the group with six points, followed by Australia and the Philippines with three points each, while Timor-Leste remain without a point.

Under tournament rules, teams level on points are separated by head-to-head results. This gives Myanmar a strong chance of reaching the semi finals. Myanmar will top the group and advance if they win or draw today. Even with a loss by a single goal, they will still qualify, while only a defeat by two or more goals would see them eliminated from the group stage.

With the performances and form shown so far in the tournament, Myanmar’s women’s national team are well positioned to secure a semi-final berth.

In Group A, matches concluded on 12 August, with hosts Vietnam and Thailand already booking their semi final places. The semi finals will be held on 16 August, with the final and third-place playoff set for 19 August. — Htun Thway Eain/KZL
