The team's nickname is the Golden Star Women Warriors (Vietnamese: Những Nữ Chiến Binh Sao Vàng).

To make the matter worse, Vietnam even missed out the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in a painful playoff defeat at home to arch-rival Thailand 1–2.

In the pre-2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup friendlies in Spain, preparations had been plagued by the COVID-19 pandemic as several players were found to be infected with the virus.

The Vietnamese team finally reached the quarter-finals of a Women's Asian Cup for the first time after a struggling 2–2 draw with Myanmar, which also effectively knocked the Burmese out of the tournament.

The team's nickname is the Golden Star Women Warriors (Vietnamese: Những Nữ Chiến Binh Sao Vàng),[6][7] similar to the nickname Những Chiến Binh Sao Vàng (Golden Star Warriors) from the men's team.
