The Myanmar national team suffered a loss to South Korea during the Asian Games, a result that left the squad and its supporters disappointed.

Speaking after the match, coach Colin Bell emphasized that the team requires more time to develop its performance levels and compete effectively on the regional stage.

Bell, who guided the South Korean side from 2019 until 2024, took over the Myanmar job earlier this year and is now tasked with rebuilding the team after the setback.

His comments suggest a focus on long‑term growth rather than immediate results, indicating that upcoming fixtures will be used to assess progress and refine tactics.
