In 2005, Laos was among the Southeast Asian nations, alongside other neighboring countries, anticipated to field a women's football team for the SEA Games held in Marikina in December.[2] However, the women's team was not established until 2007, making their international debut at the 2007 AFF Women's Championship. On September 6, 2007, they faced the Thailand team, suffering a 1–13 defeat, with Souphavanh Phayvanh scoring Laos first-ever goal in the 70th minute.[3] Despite another loss to Myanmar, the team achieved their first international victory by defeating the Singapore team 3–1.
Later in 2007, the team made its debut at the SEA Games and advanced to the semifinals on their first attempt, ultimately finishing in fourth place after losing both the semifinal and bronze medal matches.
In 2009, the team competed in the SEA Games held on home soil, once again finishing in fourth place for the second consecutive tournament.
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 competition’s history.[4][5] The team secured their biggest result with an 11–0 victory over the Indonesia team, but finished fourth after losses to Southeast Asian giants Vietnam and Thailand.[6]
In 2015, Laos participated in their first Olympic qualifying tournament but were 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 their 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]
The Laos women's national team plays their home matches at the New Laos National Stadium.
