Myanmar football teams to play int’l friendlies in April

The Myanmar U-22 national team and the Myanmar women’s national football team, which are under training ahead of the 31st SEA Games, are set to play international matches in April.
Both teams are preparing for international tournaments earlier this year, Myanmar Football Federation officials said.
The Myanmar U-22 national team competed in the 2022 ASEAN U-23 Championship in Cambodia from 14 to 26 February but withdrew from the competition on the first day of the group match as some players were infected with the COVID-19 virus.
The Myanmar U-22 squad resumed training in early March and is headed by Bulgarian Popov.
The Myanmar women’s team has been taking training with 30 preliminary players since the last week of February after the 2022 AFC Women’s Cup in India in January.
Head Coach U Tin Myint Aung is in charge of the women’s squad.
