The 2026 SEA Women's V Cup rolls into its decisive stage on Sunday, 9 August, with two matches on the slate in Chiangmai, Thailand, as the region’s top women’s sides collide in a double-header that promises fireworks.
Philippines vs Indonesia (13:00, Chiangmai, Thailand):
The afternoon opener renews a rivalry that has been fiercely contested across multiple competitions in recent weeks. Indonesia won the most recent women’s meeting in this very tournament, taking a 3-1 victory over the Philippines on 2 August, following two straight wins in the men’s edition in July. The Philippines, however, come in off a tough 0-3 loss to Thailand on 7 August, while Indonesia’s last outing was a gripping 3-2 triumph over Vietnam the same day, showcasing their recent knack for edging tight contests.
Thailand vs Vietnam (16:30, Chiangmai, Thailand) ⭐ [HIGHLIGHT MATCH]:
The marquee clash of the day pits the host nation against Vietnam, with a recent history that is as tight as it is split across codes. Thailand swept Vietnam 3-0 in their last women’s meeting on 2 August, yet the two sides traded 3-2 results in the men’s V Cup just days earlier, underlining how evenly matched these programs are. Thailand arrive with a confidence-boosting 3-0 shutout of the Philippines on 7 August, while Vietnam’s last women’s match was a narrow 2-3 defeat to Indonesia, leaving them eager to turn that result around on this bigger stage.
