The 2025 ASEAN Women's Championship (officially the ASEAN MSIG Serenity Cup 2025 due to sponsorship reasons[1]) is the 13th edition of the ASEAN Women's Championship (previously known as the AFF Women's Championship), an international women's football tournament organised by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF). This also marks the first time a qualification tournament, the 2024 AFF Women's Cup, was held before the championships.

Qualification

The top five teams from the 2022 AFF Women's Championship automatically qualified for the 2025 edition. Indonesia, Cambodia, and Singapore, the top three teams of the 2024 AFF Women's Cup held in Laos also qualified.[2][3]

Singapore later withdrew from the tournament due to overlapping fixtures. Timor-Leste, who finished 4th place in the AFF Women's Cup, replaced them.[4][5] Australia entered their under-23 team.[6]

Venues

Indonesia was originally named as the host of the tournament. However, due to conflicting schedules with the 2025 ASEAN U-16 Women's Championship, Indonesia withdrew their hosting rights. As the result, the ASEAN Football Federation chose Vietnam as the new host nation.[9]

The competition will be held in Haiphong and Phú Thọ.[10][11] Both cities will host the group stage, while Haiphong will be the sole host of the playoffs.[12]
