Sydney: The heartbreak of losing the 2022 final is still vivid for Choe Yu-ri and there’s nothing the midfielder wants more than to make up for it by Korea Republic emerging as the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ champions.

Now 31, the midfielder started each of Korea Republic’s six matches at India 2022 - which ended with them losing the final 3-2 to China PR after having led 2-0 and Choe is determined to not experience that despair again.

“At the last tournament, we were so close to winning but lost it at the end,” said Choe. “I don’t want to repeat those memories. .....

“I hope the fans will come and watch the match. And please continue to support us tomorrow,”
