Vietnamese forward picked among top 50 players to watch at Women’s World Cup

Goal said despite not scoring in the Asian Cup 2022, she certainly played her part as Vietnam achieved qualification for the Women’s World Cup for the first time, playing all six matches as they decisively beat Thailand and Taipei to secure a ticket.

“The 28-year-old is a key danger woman for the defenses of the U.S., the Netherlands and Portugal to keep an eye on,” it added.

Yen is now one of the most experienced players and also one of the top goal scorers in the Vietnamese women’s national team. She has earned 76 caps for the national team and scored 42 goals, averaging less than two matches per goal for the national team.

As scheduled, Vietnam will face the defending champions U.S. in their opening match at 8 a.m. on July 22. Later, they will play against Portugal at 2:30 p.m. on July 27, and against the runners-up Netherlands in the final match of the group stage at 2 p.m. on August 1.
