AFC Women's Club Championship
With Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies already qualified from Group A, it will be a matter of pride for the other teams in Sunday’s fixtures.
Group A
Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies (JPN) v Hualien Women’s Football Team (TPE)
Kick-off: 16:30 (UTC+7)
Bangkok FC (THA) v Sree Gokulam Kerala FC (IND)
Kick-off: 20:30 (UTC+7)
With domestic league action still to come and players like Hana Takahashi and Rion Ishikawa nursing injuries, head coach Naoki Kusunose plans to rotate the squad against a Hualien side seeking their first win in the competition.
A similar approach could also be seen from Bangkok as head coach Panupun Kumvongdee aims to give minutes to everyone in the squad which could give an opportunity to his counterpart, Anthony Edwards.
Gokulam, who finished third in the 2021 edition, produced an improved performance to get a draw against Hualien in MD2 and if they win, could finish as high as second in the group.
Group B
Sydney Football Club (AUS) v Hyundai Red Angels Women’s FC (KOR)
Kick-off: 15:00 (UTC+5)
FC Nasaf (UZB) v Bam Khatoon FC (IRN)
Kick-off: 18:00 (UTC+5)
Sydney head into the clash with Red Angels knowing that a draw will be enough for them to finish as Group B winners and clinch their ticket to the final, thanks to a better goal difference.
Fiona Worts scored a brace in both previous two games and she will be the main threat for the Red Angels side.
Without a point after two matches, Nasaf and Bam Khatoon will have pride on the line when they square off.
