Following a ten-day training camp in Germany, the Vietnamese girls flew to Jordan for the tournament’s finals on April 2. They are scheduled to have a further four days of training in Amman, Jordan. 

The team will face Japan on April 7, Australia on April 10, and the Republic of Korea on April 13.
