Kuala Lumpur: The much-awaited FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 is now just days away from kick-off and the tournament will once again provide a perfect stage for some of the world’s most exciting players to showcase their talent in front of a global audience.

From an 18-year-old Sun Wen at the inaugural World Cup in 1991 to a 16-year-old Homare Sawa four years later and a 19-year-old Ellie Carpenter at the most recent edition in France, we have witnessed many Asian stars take their careers to the next level by making a lasting impact on the competition.

The hope is that the upcoming edition of the tournament will witness new stars from the continent emerge as they look to make a name for themselves on the global stage. The-AFC.com takes a look at a young player from each of Asia’s six representatives who could have a breakout tournament.
