The time was changed so that the Japanese Football Federation can organise some friendly matches with the Vietnamese team on November 10, 12 and 14.

After two weeks training in Tam Dao, the team has now returned to tactics training in the northern province of Ha Nam.

Before flying off to Japan, the team will take part in the International Women’s Football Open from October 16-23 in the northern province of Quang Ninh.

The team’s half-back Nguyen Minh Nguyet will also be fit and able to compete at the tournament.
