The Korean women's national soccer team (No. 19 in FIFA) will stage a home fight against Colombia (No. 21 in FIFA ranking).
The women's national soccer team, led by head coach Shin Sang-woo, will play two straight A matches against Colombia at 7 p.m. on the 30th at Incheon Namdong Asia Rugby Stadium and Yongin Mir Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 2nd of next month.
Shin Sang-woo, which was launched in October last year, is an important 'Bangbang' A match that will debut in front of home fans at home. Shin Sang-woo's eight A matches were 3 wins and 5 losses, 0-4 defeat to Japan (5th place) in his debut match on October 26 last year, 0-5 loss to Spain (2nd place) on November 30 and 1-5 loss to Canada (7th place) on December 4. In February, he won the Pink Ladies Cup by beating Uzbekistan (No. 50) 3-0, Thailand (No. 47) 4-0, and India (No. 69) 3-0. In April, Australia (16th) won its second consecutive game 0-2 and 0-1 in two consecutive games. He had five losses to Japan, Spain, Canada and Australia, and was lethargic with one goal and 17 runs in five games. We were weak against the strong team and strong against the weak team.
Colombia is two steps lower than Korea, but it is never behind in its power. In the group stage of the 2023 Australia-New Zealand Women's World Cup, they were completely defeated 0-2. South Korea was eliminated with one draw and two losses in the group stage, but Colombia made a stir by reaching the quarterfinals. He also advanced to the finals of the Paris Olympics last year and took the stage in the Olympics, which South Korea has never stepped on. It is nice and meaningful to face the Australian Women's Asian Cup in March next year and the Brazilian Women's World Cup in 2027, where actual experience is important, and not an easy opponent. The return match in two years is an opportunity to confirm the harmony, change and growth of Korean women's soccer. Ji So-yeon (Seattle Lane), a veteran defender who lifted the Women's Asian Champions League trophy' Kim Hye-ri is at the center of offense and defense, including Lee Geum-min, Choi Yu-ri (Birmingham City), Choo Hyo-joo (Ota and Lapid), Casey Eugene Fair (Angel City), Jeon Yu-kyung (Molde, 8 goals in 7 matches), Jeong Da-bin (Korea University, 5 matches, 6 goals in 5 matches) 'Super Crack' Park Soo-jung (Ulsan University of Science) are expected to perform well.
Lockdown of striker Linda Caicedo, born in 2005, is key. "Real Madrid Femenino No. 8" Caicedo scored a decisive goal in the group stage (0-2 loss) of the 2023 Australia-New Zealand World Cup, and scored the winning goal against South Korea in the round of 16 (0-1 loss) of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup last year, where Jeon Yu-kyung, Jung Da-bin and Park Soo-jung played. He scored seven goals and four assists in 25 Real Madrid games this season.
Shin Sang-woo, the coach of the Korean women's national soccer team, made it clear that he would avenge his home victory. `If we play in Korea for the first time since our appointment and show good results and good performance, more fans will be interested in women's soccer,' he said."We will show aggressive soccer in front of home fans."I promised.
