On February 10, Beijing time, it was revealed from Henan media "Luoyang Net" that the Henan Provincial Sports Bureau and the Luoyang Municipal Government jointly rewarded Wang Shanshan, the captain of the Chinese women's football team and a National Footballer from Luoyang, with 1 million yuan. It is reported that the reason why Wang Shanshan won the hometown reward of 1 million yuan is not only because she led the team to win glory for the country, but also inspired the fathers and elders of her hometown, and also polished the city card of Luoyang football.
Since Wang Shanshan is still following the Chinese women's national football team in Suzhou for closed quarantine observation, the prize money is collected by Wang Shanshan's family. At the scene of receiving the award, Wang Shanshan's parents emotionally said that their daughter's success is inseparable from the support of her fathers and villagers in Luoyang, with her hometown as a strong backing, and looks forward to her achieving good results for the motherland!
In the recently concluded 20th Women's Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team won the championship again after a gap of 16 years, which is also the ninth time in the history of the Chinese women's football team to win the Asian Cup. As the captain of the Chinese women's football team, Wang Shanshan performed very well, contributing 5 goals and 1 assist in 5 games. Especially in the semi-finals and finals, Wang Shanshan obeyed the needs of the whole team, playing from the forward to the center-back position, still performing well.
In the semi-finals with Japan and the final with South Korea, she scored a perfect goal and a killer assist, and Wang Shanshan was also highly regarded as the MVP of the 2022 Women's Asian Cup. Seeing the reward won by Wang Shanshan, many Chinese fans have left messages to express their support: "Shanshan deserves such a reward!" "Thumbs up to Henan Province and Luoyang City!"
According to comprehensive reports from domestic media, after regaining the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team has received tens of millions of yuan in cash awarded by two companies. Coupled with the 10 million yuan bonus promised by the Chinese Football Association, the current Chinese women's football team has a total bonus of nearly 40 million yuan. I believe that with such encouragement, the girls will have more motivation to continue to win glory for the country in the future.
