On January 24, Beijing time, the AFC finally officially announced the ending of the Indian women's football team. Unable to gather the number of people to participate in the next matches, the Indian women's football team withdrew from the Women's Asian Cup on their doorstep.
In this way, the third game of the Chinese women's football team will be cancelled, and the team has already won the first place in the group. In the future, their opponents will be the third group in Group B or Group C. The team's next matches will be in Mumbai, but the venue will be changed to the D-Y-Patil-Stadium stadium. The results of the other groups will also change dramatically due to the withdrawal of the Indian women's football team.
Due to the uneven number of matches, the next 2 matches of the Indian women's football team have been cancelled.
On January 24, the AFC officially announced that the previous performances of the Indian women's football team and the Iranian women's football team were also cancelled. The Indian women's football team did not have any results in its own Women's Asian Cup.
In this way, the Iranian women's football team, which originally had 1 point, is currently ranked behind the women's football team of Taiwan Province of China. The third match of Group A will be played between their two teams. Once the two teams are drawn, they are very likely to work together to advance to the knockout rounds.
The Chinese women's football team does not need to play the third round of the group stage. Shui Qingxia's team locked in the first place in Group A.
According to the previous rules, the next knockout round of the Chinese women's football team was scheduled to 17:30 on the 30th. The opponent will be group third in group B or group C.
Due to the disqualification of the Indian women's football team, when the third place in the best results group will be counted, the third place in group B and group C will no longer be counted. This is extremely advantageous for the Thai women's football team, which unexpectedly lost the first game. For the Vietnamese women's football team, which is third in Group C, it is quite difficult to qualify for the knockout rounds.
In the schedule, the Chinese women's football team will usher in a 6-day break. This is extremely advantageous for the following knockout rounds.
The main opponents of The Chinese women's football team, the South Korean women's football team and the Japanese women's football team, will usher in an important dialogue. The winner is likely to meet the Chinese women's football team in the semi-finals.
Due to the poor strength of the group opponents, the Australian women's football team is likely to win the first place in the group in group B.
The news of the AFC, for the Indian women's football team, and even for Indian football, is a thunderbolt in the sky. This is the first time in Asian football that the host has withdrawn from the tournament. In the previous Asian Cups for men's and women's football, most of the hosts have entered the knockout rounds.
There are very few football tournaments in India, and this tournament is a promotion of Indian football. The Indian women's team also got a good group and they had the chance to reach the knockout rounds.
Previously, in the AFC Champions League, India's Goa hosted a group stage. But all four participating teams played all the games relatively safely.
Al Hilal played at home in the AFC Champions League In 2020, but was cancelled due to a lack of players. At one point they wanted to complain, but the AFC did not bow its head.
2022 was hailed by ESPN as the big year of indian sports. But I didn't expect that in January, they would perform so badly in 2 competitions.
Before the Women's Asian Cup, in the Indian Open Badminton Championships, many famous players withdrew from the tournament before the game, resulting in a serious lack of excitement in the game. The Indian women's football team did not take protective measures due to its own protection measures, resulting in the team not even being able to get together with 13 non-positive players, and was eventually disqualified.
At the end of this year, India will also host the Women's U17 World Cup. We can only wish that when the time comes, their team will be able to finish the game smoothly.
