The Korean national team, which will participate in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in 2025, has begun full-fledged preparations.
The Korea Football Association said on March 14 that the U-17 women's national team will hold its first convocation training this year in Beolgyo-eup, Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do from the day to the 20th. With no official coach yet appointed, the training will be led by Ko Hyun-bok, former leader of the Korea Football Association.

A total of 23 players will participate in the convocation, of which 21 were born in 2008 and two were born in 2009. What is particularly noteworthy is that eight players who participated in last year's FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup joined the national team again this time. The main characters include Kim Han-ah (Gwangyang Girls' High School), Ryu Ji-hae, Baek Ji-eun, Jeong Yu-jeong (Ulsan Hyundai High School), Yang Ji-min (Pohang Women's High School), Jeong Ha-yoon (Gyeongnam Robot High School), Kim Min-seo (Ulsan Hyundai High School) and Han Kook-hee (Pohang Women's High School).

Starting this year, FIFA changed the U-17 World Cup from a two-year cycle to an annual one, which will be held in Morocco for the next five years. The number of participating countries has also been expanded from 16 to 24. 온라인바카라

With the U-17 Women's Asian Cup, which also serves as a World Cup qualifier, not being held this year according to the decision of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), South Korea has recently won a ticket to the World Cup directly with North Korea, Japan and China, which have accumulated three Asian Cup performances.

The FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup will be held in Morocco from Oct. 17 to Nov. 8.
