The tournament was won by Vietnam, who won their second title as a unified nation, having previously won it in 2019, and their third title in total, by beating Thailand 1–0 in the final. This victory also let Vietnam became the Gold Medal team that never concede any goal in the tournament for the first time since the 1979 tournament (and also the only team in U–23). Indonesia won the bronze medal after defeating Malaysia on penalties.^[2][3][4][5]
