The draw ceremony for the second phase of the Asian qualifiers for the 2024 Paris Women's Football Championship was announced, and the Chinese women's football team, as the host of Group B, entered the super death group and competed with the South Korean women's football team, the Thai women's football team and the North Korean women's football team for the qualification spot.
The Chinese women's football team is currently ranked 13th in the world and third in Asia, and although it is the Asian champion, it is not dominant. Generally speaking, the Asian women's football final four is China, Japan, South Korea and Australia, China and South Korea in the same group, itself let the 2 team have some crisis, now, the "mysterious division" North Korean team has returned, but also divided into the Chinese team in Group B, the already very strong group, the breath of death burst!
It should be noted that although the North Korean team does not currently have a world ranking, it was the first team in Asia before it was removed from the world ranking, and the strength of this team is also the top in Asia, so there will be a vicious battle between China, North Korea and South Korea. If you want to enter the Paris Olympics, you must finish first in the group or the second place with the best results in the three groups to have any hope, and break through in the semifinals that follow, and reach the final to qualify for the Olympic main event, which shows that the difficulty of the Chinese women's football team is very large.
In comparison, the overall strength of the other two groups is far inferior to the death group of the Chinese team, and if nothing else, Australia and Japan will qualify.
The specific groupings are:
Group A: Australia Women's Football, Chinese Taipei Women's Football Team, Philippines Women's Football Team, Iran Women's Football Team
Group B: China Women's Football, South Korea Women's Football Team, Thailand Women's Football Team, North Korea Women's Football Team
Group C: Japan Women's Team, Vietnam Women's Football Team, Uzbekistan Women's Football Team, India Women's Football Team
