Vietnam to Host the ASEAN Women’s MSIG Serenity Cup™ 2025 from 6 to 19 August

Singapore, 13 May 2025: The ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) has today announced Vietnam as hosts for the ASEAN Women’s MSIG Serenity Cup™ 2025, with Southeast Asia’s premier women’s championship scheduled to be played in major cities, Viet Tri and Hai Phong from 6-19 August.

The round-robin group games for the eight-team tournament will be played at Viet Tri Stadium and Lach Tray Stadium. Viet Tri Stadium, which was the venue for Vietnam’s home games during their successful ASEAN Championship 2024 campaign, will host both semi-finals, the third-place play-off and the final.

MSIG, is a leading general insurer in ASEAN based on total gross written premiums, with a presence in 48 countries. In Indonesia, MSIG operates through two entities: MSIG Indonesia for general insurance and MSIG Life for life insurance. This year, MSIG marks a historic milestone as the first-ever title partner of the ASEAN Women’s Football Championship, now named the ASEAN Women’s MSIG Serenity Cup™. The 13th edition of the tournament will feature women’s national teams from eight AFF member countries including defending champions the Philippines, record four-time winners Thailand and three-time winners Vietnam competing for the coveted title of ASEAN Women’s Champions.  

The eight teams will be drawn into two groups in an Official Draw on 9 June. The top two sides in each group following the group stage round robin matches will progress to the semifinals with the winners of those games then meeting in the final.

Major General Khiev Sameth, President, AFF, said: “The ASEAN Women’s MSIG Serenity Cup™ 2025 marks an important milestone in our shared journey to elevate women’s football in Southeast Asia. Hosted with the support of the Vietnam Football Federation, this moment sets the stage for what promises to be a landmark edition of our region’s most prestigious women’s football tournament.

With the invaluable support of our title partner MSIG, we are witnessing the rapid rise of the women’s game in ASEAN, not just in performance, but in passion, pride, and purpose. We eagerly look forward to a tournament that will celebrate excellence, foster unity, and inspire a new generation of female athletes across our region.”

Mr. Trần Quốc Tuấn, President, Vietnam Football Federation, said: “It is a tremendous honour for Vietnam to host the ASEAN Women’s MSIG Serenity Cup™ 2025, an occasion of great pride that reflects the remarkable growth of women’s football in our nation and across Southeast Asia. This opportunity is not only a recognition of our commitment to the women’s game, but also a responsibility we embrace wholeheartedly.

“Together with the ASEAN Football Federation and our valued partners, we are dedicated to delivering a tournament that showcases the spirit, skill, and unity of ASEAN football.  

“We also await with great anticipation, the Official Draw on 9 June, as it marks another important step in our journey to welcome Southeast Asia’s finest women’s teams to Viet Tri and Hai Phong this August."

Mr. Yoshinori Ito, General Director of MSIG Vietnam, said: "As title partner of the ASEAN Women’s MSIG Serenity Cup™, we are proud to be at the forefront of advancing women’s football across the region. Our commitment goes beyond sponsorship – we are championing a movement that empowers female athletes, brings communities together, and inspires the next generation. It is a great honour for Vietnam to host this tournament – a landmark event for both the region and women’s sport – and we look forward to witnessing the passion and talent it will showcase."

ASEAN women’s national team performances have been rising steadily on the international level, with Thailand participating in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and 2019, and the Philippines and Vietnam in 2023.
