The DPRK women's soccer team has a goal difference of 6 goals, compared to the Chinese women's soccer team's goal difference of minus 2 goals. In the upcoming crucial matchup, the Chinese women's soccer team will need an overwhelming victory, at least 8-0, to turn the situation around. The realization of this is also dependent on the North Korean women's soccer team's loss in the final game. In this way, China's U20 women's soccer team will have a chance to realize its aspiration of advancing to the U20 Women's Soccer World Cup.
The situation is grim, the Chinese women's soccer team not only has to play at an extraordinary level, but also depends on the other matches. With the current strength and status of the Chinese women's soccer team, breaking through the group and realizing the dream of the World Cup is almost like climbing a dangerous peak.
The predicament faced by China's U20 women's soccer team stems from the FA's long-term neglect of women's soccer development. The lack of a sound training system and sufficient financial investment has left the Chinese women's soccer team facing huge challenges in the context of a talent gap. In particular, the retirement of mid-generation players such as Wang Frost and Zhang Linyan has made the problem of training newcomers in Chinese women's soccer increasingly prominent.
While pursuing the achievements of men's soccer, the Football Association should also pay attention to the development of women's soccer. After all, soccer is a sport for all, and gender equality cannot be ignored. The CFA needs to start from the grassroots, increase investment, optimize the training system, and provide a solid foundation for the rise of Chinese women's football. We expect fans to give more support and encouragement to the U20 Chinese women's soccer team, and believe that they can show their best form in the game and realize the dream of the World Cup.
