Coach Jia Xiuquan also faded out of the Chinese women's football team, and Shanghai women's football coach Shui Qingxia led the women's Olympic team to compete in the National Games.

A total of 8 teams in the women's senior group of the National Games were shortlisted for the final stage, including Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Liaoning and Olympic teams in Group A, and Shandong, Shanghai, Sichuan and Beijing in Group B. According to the rules of the National Games, if the Olympic team finally wins the championship, the gold medal will be distributed to the provinces and cities according to the player's place of origin, and Henan international Wang Ying is a member of the Olympic team.

In this campaign, Wang Ying ushered in the start. Although the women's Olympic team had the advantage, there were not many threatening shots until the 36th minute, when Wang Shuang took a set-piece and assisted Wang Yan's small-angle head hammer. In the second half, Wang Shanshan's header hit the crossbar, and Mu Siwen grabbed a shot after receiving Zhang Xin's straight plug and was ruled invalid due to offside.

In the 86th minute, the Olympic team made a mistake in the backcourt, and Yan Yingying, the No. 19 of the Shaanxi team, almost equalized. In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Shaanxi team set the ball in front of the field, and The No. 26 Yang Xiaoxia's header went high over the crossbar and missed the chance to draw. In the end, the women's Olympic team narrowly won the opening red.

After the game, Shaanxi women's coach Liu Huana said, "The opponent is the top player of the domestic women's football team, maybe the first game everyone has baggage in their hearts, has not yet played a better advantage, mainly today our performance is still very good, limiting the opponent, because after all, the local team and the national brand in terms of psychological pressure, the national brand is bigger."
