Women’s soccer team ‘European’ Jo So-hyeon and Lee Young-joo, scramble for the East Asian Cup

Permission was granted to join the team… Lee Geum-min failed

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong-seok Ahn = ‘European’ Jo So-hyeon (Tottenham) and Lee Young-joo (Madrid CFF) are scrambled for the 2022 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) to be held in Japan next month.

The Korea Football Association announced on the 30th the list of 24 women’s national teams to participate in the East Asian Cup.

Since the East Asian Cup is not held during the match A period set by FIFA, players from overseas can participate only with the club’s permission.

Two of the players who participated in the recent Canadian away evaluation match were dropped and three new players were selected.

Lee Geum-min (Brighton) was removed from the team because he did not get permission to be hired, and Lee Jung-min (Director) was excluded from the list due to his team’s circumstances.

Instead, Lee Min-ah (Hyundai Steel), who recovered from an injury, returned, and Kim Yun-ji (Suwon FC) and 21-year-old Ko Min-jung (Changnyeong WFC) were added to the list.

Initially, the number of entries for this tournament was 23, but the number has been increased to 26.

Accordingly, the Football Association is planning to announce two additional players who will go to Japan together.

The East Asian Cup women’s match will be held in Kashima, Japan from the 19th to the 26th of next month.

Four teams including Korea, host Japan, China, and Taiwan will play a full league to determine the winner.

Korea, led by coach Colin Bell, will play their first match against Japan on the 19th, followed by China on the 23rd and Taiwan on the 26th.

The East Asian Cup was established in 2003, and the women’s competition started from the 2nd tournament held in 2005.

The Korean women’s national team did not have a tie with the championship cup after winning the first championship in 2005. He finished runner-up, 3rd and 4th place twice each.

At the 2019 Busan Games held just before, they finished runners-up after Japan.

The national team will start training on the 5th of next month.
