In 2023, the Chinese women's soccer team faces many challenges. 2023 Women's World Cup, Hangzhou Asian Games, Paris Olympic qualification are hard battles. Coach Shui Qingxia recently said in an interview that this year's tournament is a heavy task and the team's training requirements will be stricter. Therefore, the coaching staff and players should trust each other and form a unified goal. Talking about specific goals, she said, "I hope to advance to the top eight in the World Cup. The Asian Games are held at home. The whole team wants to perform well. There are relatively few places in the Olympics (only two qualifiers for promotion in Asia) and the competition will be more intense. We will do our best to promote. Every game of every match is crucial. We will set goals and work towards them.
China's women's soccer team will travel to Spain on February 10 and will have four warm-up matches in February, against Real Betis Women's Soccer in Spain on February 14, Sweden Women's Soccer on February 16, Vivar Athletic Women's Soccer in Spain on February 19, and Ireland Women's Soccer on February 22nd. In this year's Women's World Cup, China will be in the same group as the England women's soccer team and the Denmark women's soccer team, so the warm-up matches are against very targeted opponents.
