In the morning sunshine of March 11, a piece of news quietly made waves in the soccer world: the groupings for the 2022 Chinese Women's Football Association National Women's Football Championship were officially revealed.
This exciting battle will be launched in the spring breeze of the Kunming Ridge, and the passion of women's soccer will be ignited on March 12 until March 25, when the tournament will slowly come to an end in a climax.
The tournament not only brought together the top teams from the Women's Premier League and Women's First Division, but also welcomed the U17 Women's National Team to the tournament. 19 teams were divided into five groups, and after three rounds of battles, the best of the five and the three best second-placed teams would advance to the qualifying rounds for the 1-8th place. The second-placed teams from the other two groups, as well as the third-placed teams from each group, along with the fourth-placed team with the best results, will compete for 9-16th place honors.
Moving on to the second stage, the tournament will enter a brutal single elimination stage, with quarter-finals, semi-finals and up to the final, where every step of the way is a test of a team's will and skill.
