Defending champion Nam Dinh is in the same group with Gamba Osaka (Japan), Ratchaburi (Thailand) and Eastern of Hong Kong, China. The correlation between the teams shows that only Gamba Osaka is superior. Although this team is not a force in the Japanese National Championship, it is still much stronger than the remaining opponents. Therefore, Nam Dinh will most likely focus on competing with Ratchaburi and Eastern to continue as the second team in the group.
With a heavily invested squad, Nam Dinh is expected to improve their performance compared to last season. This time, their Thai opponent is not Bangkok United like last year but Ratchaburi. This is the name considered the weakest among the representatives of the Golden Temple country in this year's C2 Cup (alongside Bangkok United and Pathum BG). If playing to their true potential, the defending champion Vietnam is completely capable of defeating Ratchaburi in both matches.
Meanwhile, having been placed in pot 4 before the draw, CAHN knew they could be in a very difficult group. CAHN will be in the same group as Beijing FC from China, MacArthur from Australia and Tai Po from Hong Kong, China. But things are not too difficult for this team. MacArthur may be CAHN's main opponent in the group stage, but the past shows that Australian teams often do not play well when participating in continental competitions.
In the remaining two groups, BG Pathum will meet Pohang Steelers from Korea, Kaya FC from the Philippines and Tampines Rovers from Singapore, while Bangkok United is in Group G with Lion City Sailors (Singapore), Persib Bandung (Indonesia) and Selangor (Malaysia)....
According to the format, the group stage of the Asian Cup C2 will take place from September 16 to December 24, 2025. The round of 16 matches will take place from February 10 to 19, 2026. With the results just announced, CAHN and Nam Dinh have the right to dream of a ticket to continue...
