With the postponement of the Hangzhou Asian Games, our women's soccer team's top tournament mission this year will focus on the East Asian Cup to be held in Japan in July.On May 19th, the women's soccer girls will gather in Haikou to start the preparatory journey, and the training list brings together 37 elites.
After the second stage of the Women's Super League on May 14, the women's soccer team quickly assembled in Haikou, where the competition was held, to prepare for the East Asia Cup, which kicked off on July 19 in Japan. Coach Shui Qingxia called up 37 players, of which Wuhan women's soccer team contributed as many as 10 international players such as Wang Frost and Wu Haiyan. It is worth mentioning that Wang Frost, who missed the first 10 rounds of the Women's Super League due to injury, has returned to the team after recovering from injury, and Lou Jiahui, the leader of the Henan women's soccer team who is on loan to Wuhan this year, has also been successfully selected.
Shanghai women's soccer team this time a total of eight players, including Zhao Lina and Zhang Xin, were selected for the national team. Last season's Women's Super League runner-up, Jiangsu, contributed six international players, including Wu Chengshu. Other selected players include Li Ying and Gao Chen, while three overseas players Tang Jiali, Shen Mengyu and Yang Shuhui failed to be selected.
The East Asia Cup, which was originally scheduled to be held in our country, has been changed to Japan due to domestic anti-epidemic policy restrictions. The East Asia Cup will feature Japan, South Korea, China and Chinese Taipei. Earlier this year, our women's soccer team won the Asian Cup, after 16 years again topped the Asian top. Facing the upcoming East Asia Cup, our women's soccer team's goal is still to win the championship. However, in the face of Japan and South Korea, the two Asian rivals, our women's soccer team in the semifinals and finals of the Asian Cup, this time in the East Asian Cup meet again, will certainly stage a fierce competition.
