In the twilight of a career laden with titles, honours and accolades, Ji So-yun knows that this could well be her last chance to make a mark at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
She is not alone. Head coach Colin Bell has selected a vastly experienced Korea Republic squad, with more than half of the 23-players pool aged 30 or older. While the upside of that is cool heads in the heat of battle, the reality for many is that the end is drawing nearer - a fact that is not lost on the team's all-time leading scorer.
Competing at their third straight #FIFAWWC, can Korea Republic make it back to the knockouts? @TheKFA | #BeyondGreatness
