Team Preview
Nepal’s Performance
Nepal secured their place in the final after two hard-fought 1-0 victories over Lebanon and Kyrgyzstan, followed by a 2-2 draw against Myanmar on February 23. However, their struggles in front of goal remain a concern, having scored just four times in the tournament.
Coach Rajendra Tamang sees this final as the ultimate test for his side. Nepal will rely on Preeti Rai, whose dribbling, interception skills, and pinpoint crosses make her a key playmaker. Additionally, Samba, who plays in the French league, will be crucial with her goal-scoring ability and speed.
Myanmar’s Performance
Myanmar has been dominant in the tournament, scoring ten goals in three matches—defeating Lebanon 3-1, Kyrgyzstan 5-0, and drawing 2-2 against Nepal. They are also the highest-ranked team in the tournament at 55th in the FIFA rankings.
A key player to watch is Win Theingi Tun, who has consistently performed against Nepal. She scored in Myanmar’s 3-1 victory over Nepal in the 2020 Olympic Qualifiers and was on the scoresheet in both matches of the Hero Gold Cup against Nepal.
