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. The women's team was not established until 2007, making its international debut at the
2007 AFF Women's Championship. On 6 September 2007, it faced the
Thailand team, undergoing a 1–13 defeat, with
Souphavanh Phayvanh scoring Laos first-ever goal in the 70th minute. 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. The team secured its biggest result with an 11–0 victory over the
Indonesia team, and finished fourth after losses to
Vietnam and
Thailand. 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. 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. ==Roster==
