The AFC Women's Asian Cup India 2022 final could crown a new Asian Cup women's champion. It could also extend China PR's dominance in this tournament and crown them Asian champions for the ninth time.
Meeting in Mumbai's D.Y. Patil Stadium, the Chinese will be led by five-time champion, head coach Shui Qingxia. Shui will be hoping her experience can overcome Colin Bell's side, Korea Republic.
It will be a tough match for the Koreans. They have not bested their Chinese opponents in their last seven fixtures. However, Bell does not seem to be bothered by this statistic:
“I don’t see us not having a win against China PR a problem," said Bell to the AFC's website ahead of the game.
"Maybe it is a problem for China PR but it is time now for us to put an end to that (winless streak) and we are ready to put this behind us.
"We don’t want to think about these figures, if we did we wouldn’t be here.
