Ayeyawady lead Myanmar Women’s League after Round 1

THE 2026-2027 Myanmar Women’s League Round 1, organized by the My­anmar National League under the Myanmar Foot­ball Federation with main sponsorship from Max En­ergy, was held from 15 to 17 June in Nay Pyi Taw, with defending champions Ay­eyawady topping the table on goal difference.

In Round 1 match­es, Ayeyawady defeated Thitsa Arman 4-0, Zweg­abin United beat Yangon City 3-0, Yangon United overcame Yadanabon 3-1, Young Lionesses edged Myawady 2-1, and ISPE defeated Shan United 4-1.

The new season sees a higher tempo, with an in­creased number of foreign players compared to the previous season, the debut of Myanmar national team striker May Htet Luu in the domestic league, and the return of veteran strik­er Win Theingi Tun, who previously played abroad.

For Matchday 1, Player of the Match awards (AYA Pay Play­er of the Match) were given to Naw Htet Htet Wai (Ayeyawady), Gloria (Zwegabin United), Zin Moe Pyae (Yangon Unit­ed), Shin Thant Phyu Sin Pyae (Young Lionesses), and Lin Myint Mor (ISPE), each receiving a com­memorative award and a cash prize of K500,000.

After Round 1, Ay­eyawady, ISPE, Zwega­bin United, Yangon Unit­ed and Young Lionesses each have three points. Ayeyawady lead the stand­ings on goal difference, while Myawady, Yadana­bon, Yangon City, Shan United and Thitsa Arman are yet to earn points.
