With the bell ringing for the Chinese New Year, the CFA unveiled the preparation squad for the new season of Chinese women's soccer on New Year's Eve. In this list, the contribution of the glorious division of Wuhan Chedu Jiangda Women's Super League is notable, with seven players successfully shortlisted as the best of the international teams. Meanwhile, eight overseas talents such as Wang Shuang, Zhang Linyan and Shen Mengyu are also among them. The Chinese women's soccer team will start their training at the Guangzhou Football Club Training Base in Panyu District, Guangzhou City on February 26th and will travel to Spain on February 10th to prepare for the upcoming warm-up matches.
China's women's soccer team has a tight schedule in 2023, with the team fully focused on preparing for the upcoming Women's World Cup, the Hangzhou Asian Games, and qualifying for the Paris Olympics. The team completed a month and a half of closed training in Haikou the day before New Year's Eve. After the Spring Festival holiday, they returned to Guangzhou on the fifth day after New Year's Day to complete their assembly. Of the 34 international players selected, most will complete their training in China before heading to Spain. Six players, including Li Mengwen, Zhang Linyan, Shen Mengyu, Wu Chengshu, Xiaoyuyi and Yang Lina, will join the national team directly in Spain as they are competing with their respective clubs.
The Chinese women's soccer team will leave for Spain on Feb. 10 to start overseas training. During this period, the team will play warm-up matches with Swedish and Irish women's soccer teams, and fight against La Liga women's soccer club teams. It is worth mentioning that the Chinese women's soccer team will be in the same group with the British women's soccer team and the Danish women's soccer team in the current Women's World Cup, and the choice of opponents for this warm-up match is very targeted.
In addition to the World Cup, the Chinese women's soccer team will have to face the challenges of qualifying for the Asian Games and the Paris Olympics this year. In the face of the intensive schedule, head coach Shui Qingxia emphasized that the team's training will be tougher than ever and that the women's soccer team will go all out to win every game. The Women's World Cup will be held from July to August, the Hangzhou Asian Games will kick off in September, and the qualifying rounds for the Paris Olympics begin in October. China's women's soccer team has one task after another, and the first task is to break through the World Cup. Four years ago, the Chinese women's soccer team in France in the Women's World Cup stopped 1/8 finals, this time the team's goal is to surpass the results of the previous year. After the World Cup, the Hangzhou Asian Games will be held as scheduled. As the hosts, the Chinese women's soccer team expects to show their best form at home. After the World Cup and the Asian Games, the team will still have to face the Olympic Games and do their best to qualify.
Every game is full of challenges and the Chinese women's soccer team will press on and give their best. Shui Qingxia said that the Chinese women's soccer team is improving, but still need to have a clearer understanding of themselves. In the face of increasingly difficult challenges, the team's confidence has grown stronger.
