Name of Coach : LEE Sang Yup



Korea Rep got decisive victories over China PR and DPR Korea thanks to GK KIM Jung Mi and DF YOO Young Sil at the 1st East Asian Women’s Football Tournament which they hosted in 2005. In their final match versus Japan they didn’t concede a goal and celebrated their first women’s title with a record of 2 wins and 1 draw. This was in spite of having barely any experience compared to their 3 rivals at the tournament. The only experience the full national team had ever had was at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2003. That had finished with them losing all of their group matches and only scoring one goal, versus Norway. In order to catch up with a pass their rivals they are currently focusing on developing their youth talent and giving them more big match experience. They had 8 members of their 2008 East Asian Women’s Football Championship team who were under 20. On the front line are FIFA 2004 U-19 Women’s World Cup team members FW PARK Hee Young and FW HAN Song I. They lost all of their matches but were close to China PR, narrowly losing 2-3. Head coach AN Ik Soo said “The main positive of this competition was that a lot fo young players gained valuable experience. In 2-3 years I believe we will be challenging China PR, DPR Korea and Japan.” The development of Korea Rep as a strong women’s football nation has only just begun.
