History

In 2005, Laos was among the Southeast Asian nations, alongside other neighboring countries, anticipated to field a women's team for the SEA Games held in Marikina in December. ^[2] The women's team was not established until 2007, making its international debut at the 2007 AFF Women's Championship. On September 6, 2007, it faced the Thailand team, undergoing a 1–13 defeat, with Souphavanh Phayvanh scoring Laos first-ever goal in the 70th minute. ^[3]

The year 2011 saw Laos host the AFF Women's Championship for the first time and reach the semifinals for the first time in the tournament’s history. ^{[4] [5]} The team secured its biggest result with an 11–0 victory over the Indonesia team, and finished fourth after losses to Vietnam and Thailand. ^[6]

In 2015, Laos participated in its first Olympic qualifying tournament and was eliminated in the first round after losses to the Chinese Taipei team and Iran. ^[7]

After not playing a single match between 2015 and 2021, the team returned to action and participated in its first Asian Cup Qualifying campaign in 2021. Drawn into Group A, the team was eliminated after a loss to Chinese Taipei and a draw with hosts Bahrain. ^[8]
