Compared to men's football, women's football has similarities in its Asian rankings, but it also has a different aspect. At present, in Asian football, the Japanese women's football team has gradually stepped out of its own way after years of deep cultivation of transmission and control football, and gradually got rid of other Asian teams, while the Chinese women's football team and the North Korean women's football team are half a position ahead of the South Korean women's football team.
The Chinese women's football team used to be the first in Asia, but it will enter a period of replacement between the old and the new in the near future
In the past, because the Chinese women's football team took the lead in opening professional training, the Chinese women's football team was the first in Asia until 2008, and with the withdrawal of the first three generations of Chinese women's football players, and the Chinese women's football team fell into the same chaotic period as the men's football team in construction, the Chinese women's football team once missed the 2011 Women's World Cup and the 2012 London Olympics.
With the growth of the "golden generation" of the class of 1995, in the 2016 Rio Olympics qualifiers, the Chinese women's football team drew North Korea, defeated Japan to enter the Rio Olympics, and reached the quarterfinals. Since then, the women's football team has won the runner-up in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, and in 2022, they have won consecutive victories against the Japanese women's football team and the South Korean women's football team to win the championship. After the 2022 Women's Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team has as many as 14 returnee players, becoming the number one in Asia on paper. However, due to various reasons, the Chinese women's football team lost 1-2 to North Korea and South Korea 1-1 in the follow-up game, missing the Paris Olympics, and the Chinese women's football team will re-enter a new period of reconstruction.
China, North Korea beat South Korea women's football team by half a position
Judging from the current situation, China and North Korea are better than the South Korean women's football team, and the South Korean women's football team does not seem to inherit the physical fitness of the South Korean men's football team. For the South Korean women's football team, the difference between them and the Chinese and North Korean women's football teams is that the team is often prone to a complete collapse of physical fitness and mentality in the second half. Perhaps the South Korean women's football team needs to consider learning from the experience of the "10,000-meter run" from the Chinese women's football team.
To sum up, the ranking of Asian women's football should be, Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea.
