On the 11th, Kunming Ridge Sports Training Base witnessed the second round of the Women's Super League, and China's national women's soccer coaching team was on hand to observe the fierce competition. Manager Jia Xiuquan revealed after the game that the Chinese women's soccer team will gather in June to prepare for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

The main purpose of the coaching team observing the first stage of the league is to examine the veteran players, but also to select players with outstanding performance to join the national team, "by then the training list may be expanded to 27 to 28 people." Jia Xiuquan said that the national team will gather in Dalian or Beijing in early June to start a month-long preparation for the Olympics.
