Korea Republic, China PR and DPR Korea all in action on busy Thursday

Kuala Lumpur: In their first outing since securing the 2018 AFC Women’s Asian Cup qualification in Pyongyang six months ago, Korea Republic will take on the United States in the first of two matches against the world champions this week.

Thursday’s opener in New Orleans will be the first meeting between the teams since the Koreans earned a 0-0 draw in a 2015 Women’s World Cup warm-up match, and Yoon Deok-yeo’s team have never beaten the Americans in nine attempts.

Speaking as the Korean squad departed for the US, the coach said the matches would be beneficial as his team prepares for next April’s continental showpiece in Jordan.
