After the matches held on September 21, the organizers confirmed the eight teams that have advanced to the quarterfinals of women's football at Asiad 20. The Vietnam women's national team was the last to secure a place among the top eight teams.

The quarterfinal matches are scheduled for September 25, with Vietnam set to face China at 1 PM. The other matchups include North Korea against Taiwan, Japan versus the Philippines, and South Korea against Uzbekistan.

Vietnam's progression to the quarterfinals was aided by Myanmar's draw against Bangladesh, which opened the door for the team coached by Hoang Van Phuc. They only needed a draw against Thailand to advance, and they achieved this with a 0-0 result.

As a result, the Vietnamese team qualified by being one of the best third-placed teams. However, they face a daunting challenge in the quarterfinals against China, who have historically dominated past encounters, winning all 13 matches against Vietnam. In a recent friendly match before Asiad 20, Vietnam lost 0-3 to China.

Another Southeast Asian representative, the Philippines, also advanced as one of the best third-placed teams and will face the host nation, Japan, in their quarterfinal match. Japan has been impressive in the group stage, winning all three of their matches without conceding a single goal.

The quarterfinals promise to be exciting, with all matches taking place on September 25. Vietnam's match against China will be particularly crucial as they aim to break their losing streak against the formidable opponent.
