At the dawn of the morning, FIFA unveiled the list of women's soccer players for the Tokyo Olympics, in which the 22-player list of China's women's soccer team also stood out. Although the country has not yet officially announced the final list, but through the FIFA list, we have been able to glimpse the mystery: Tang Jiali, Ma Jun and Lou Jiahui and other nine veterans failed to be selected, while five newcomers are emerging.
Coach Jia Xiuquan has revealed that the 26 players have shown high fighting spirit and excellent competitive level during the pulling training at the Xianghe base, and the task of preparing for the Tokyo Olympics is progressing steadily. Our women's soccer team will complete the final preparations in Xianghe and arrange targeted training matches according to the Olympic schedule.
The list released by FIFA shows that China's women's soccer lineup is missing nine veterans such as Tang Jiali, Shen Mengyu and Zhai Qingwei, while five people, including Miao Shiwen and Wang Yanwen, have become new faces. The absence of Tang Jiali, Ma Jun and Lou Jiahui, all of whom shone in the Olympic qualifiers, has attracted widespread attention.
The Tokyo Olympic women's soccer tournament will be held from July 21 to August 6. Our women's soccer team is in Group F and will face Brazil, Zambia and the Netherlands on July 21, 24 and 27 respectively.
Meanwhile, after 14 days of closed isolation and 7 days of community health monitoring in Suzhou and Shanghai respectively, members of our men's soccer team and the National Football Association (NFA) Top 40 Working Group were finally released from isolation today. The international players will soon devote their energy to the Chinese Super League and quickly return to the team to prepare for the game.
The National Football Association (NFA) is now facing an urgent task of submitting plans for each team's home stadium and alternative home stadiums by the 16th. According to the latest news, Shanghai is expected to replace Suzhou as the candidate city for the home stadium of the national football team for the 12-team tournament, while the newly completed Pudong soccer stadium will also be put to the test.
