Kick-off nears: National anthems ring out!

Both teams have lined up on the pitch as the national anthems play out in Chiang Mai.

The Blue Tigresses stand tall with pride as Jana Gana Mana echoes across the stadium, followed by Thailand’s anthem stirring passion in the Chaba Kaew ranks.

It’s almost time for this high-stakes AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifier to begin.

A place in Australia — and a shot at history — awaits the winner tonight.
