According to official information from the organizing committee, two members of the Indian women's football team tested positive for covid-19 and the two were in isolation at designated medical care institutions.
At present, the new crown epidemic in India is becoming more and more serious, and the CCTV news client reported on January 19 that there were 282,970 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in India in the past 24 hours, and as of the morning of the 19th local time, there were 1,831,000 confirmed cases in India, the highest value in the past seven months. But the country has never given up the right to host the Asian Cup of women's football, or even postponed the match – and the "coordination" of the AFC will not help - which makes the women's football teams of various countries have to "risk" to go to India to compete, because if a team abandons this Asian Cup, it means giving up the qualification for the 2023 Australia/New Zealand Women's World Cup.
The Chinese women's football team arrived in India on the 16th of this month by charter flight, and for the girls, "epidemic prevention safety" is a more important task indicator than "fighting for World Cup tickets".
According to the format of this Asian Cup, 12 teams are divided into 3 groups to produce the top 8 through the group stage, and the final top 5 teams can directly qualify for the World Cup, and there are 2 teams that can qualify for the intercontinental play-offs, which is not difficult for the Chinese women's football team with a neat lineup, and what the Chinese women's football team needs most is "safe finish, safe home".
