The Korea Football Association announced on the 26th the expansion of the entry into the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Football Championship (hereinafter referred to as the East Asian Cup). The Korea Football Association will expand the East Asian Cup entry from 23 to 26 with the decision of the `EAFF." Both men's and women's teams announced that they will add three more players to the previously announced list.
South Korea's women's soccer A team, led by head coach Shin Sang-woo, will play the East Asian Cup at Suwon World Cup Stadium and Hwaseong Sports Town from July 7 to 16. Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan will participate in the women's division. Starting with the match against China at 8 p.m. on the 9th in Suwon, Shin Sang-woo will wrap up the competition with a match between Korea and Japan at 8 p.m. on the 13th in Hwaseong, and a match against Taiwan at 7:30 p.m. on the 16th in Suwon.
Since the East Asian Cup is not held during the A-match period set by FIFA, players active in Europe and North America can be selected only after consultations with their teams are made. Ji So-yeon (Seattle Lane), Lee Young-joo (Levante Badalona), Casey Eugene Fair (Angel City FC), and Choi Yu-ri (Birmingham) were on board through consultation.
Lee Min-hwa (Hwacheon KSPO), Kim Min-ji (Seoul City Hall), and Lee Eun-young (Changnyeong WFC) joined through additional selection. Among them, Kim Min-ji was selected for the A national team for the first time. Kim Min-ji joined Seoul City Hall as the first pick of the 2024 Women's Business Football WK League rookie draft. He will experience the A national team for the first time with Koo Chae-hyun (Changnyeong WFC), who was previously included in the 23-man list.
