South Korea's women's soccer team will play two warm-up matches against the Philippines next month.

The Korea Football Association announced on Monday that it will hold a friendly match for the women's national soccer team invited by Shinsegae E-Mart against the Philippines at Icheon Stadium in Gyeonggi Province on May 5 and 8. Kick-off time has not been decided yet.

The Philippines is ranked 39th in the FIFA rankings, which is lower than Korea (20th), but has strengthened its capacity as a large number of American players have joined the team. It is considered a representative dark horse in Asia.

He reached the semifinals at the 2022 Asian Cup and also beat New Zealand in last year's World Cup.

In past matches, Korea has won all four games. The most recent showdown was in the group league of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, which won a 5-1 victory. Son Hwa-yeon (Hyundai Steel) scored a hat trick.

Since this match will be held during the FIFA Women's A Match, all overseas players can be called up.

Coach Colin Bell called for Cho So-hyun, Choi Yu-ri (Birmingham City), Ji So-yeon (Seattle Lane), Casey Fair (Angel City), and Lee Young-joo (Madrid CFF) on the Spanish stage.

Nam Seung-eun (Oh San-jeong Bogo), who recently played in the U-20 Asian Cup, was selected for the A team for the first time. 토토사이트 추천
