As this evaluation match was held during the women’s soccer A-match period (match between national teams) designated by FIFA, all overseas players participated.

Not only Ji So-yeon, who transferred to the Seattle Reign in the United States on the 25th of last month, and Casey Eugene Fair (Angel City), who is considered the future of women’s soccer, but also veteran midfielder Cho So-hyun (Birmingham City), who was unable to join the national team in the second half of last year due to injury.

In addition, a total of five overseas players, including Lee Young-joo (Madrid CFF) and Choi Yu-ri (Birmingham City), participated in this expedition.

There will be no major competitions in which the women’s national team will participate in 2024.

However, from a long-term perspective, Coach Bell plans to manage the team in preparation for the 2026 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women’s Asian Cup and the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
