The South Korean national women’s team is set to play in their fourth FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in July, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
Their best finish was in the 2015 edition when they reached the round of 16 but were beaten 3-0 by France.
They qualified for the 2023 Women’s World Cup by virtue of making it to the last four of the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup. In fact, they surpassed the qualification standard and made it to the final of the continental competition but lost 3-2 to China to finish as runners-up.
In 2023, they have not been able to hit the top gear as they have won only two out of five matches. They lost all three matches against England, Belgium and Italy respectively in the Clark Cup before returning to winning ways against Zambia at home in April
They have been drawn in Group H in the Women’s World Cup along with South Korea, Colombia, Morocco and Germany.
