Hanoi, 13 October 2025 – Ho Chi Minh City I Women’s FC officially secured the 2025 Thai Son Bac National Women’s Football Cup championship after a goalless draw with Hanoi, successfully defending their crown and achieving an unprecedented milestone in Vietnamese women’s football history.
On the afternoon of October 13, Ho Chi Minh City I Women’s FC were crowned champions of the 2025 National Women’s Football Championship – Thai Son Bac Cup after holding Hanoi to a 0-0 draw in the final round at Thanh Tri Stadium. The result was enough for coach Doan Thi Kim Chi’s side to finish atop the standings with 21 points, two clear of their closest rivals, and to once again assert their supremacy in domestic women’s football.
The title marks yet another chapter in the dominance of Ho Chi Minh City I, who have reigned over Vietnamese women’s football for more than a decade. Under the leadership of coach Doan Thi Kim Chi, the club has maintained remarkable consistency, blending veteran leadership with the development of emerging talents. From established stars such as Huynh Nhu and Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang to rising prospects like K’Thua, the team’s perfect balance of experience and youth has been the foundation of their long-term success.
For Hanoi Women’s FC, the result was filled with frustration.
