Coupang Play said on Tuesday it will provide a free live broadcast of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women’s Champions League semi-final between Suwon FC Women and North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s Football Club.<\/p>\n

The match will be held at 7 p.m. on May 20 at Suwon Sports Complex. Coupang Play will offer it free to both Wow members and general members.<\/p>\n

The match marks the first visit to South Korea by a North Korean women’s football club and the first inter-Korean women’s football meeting since the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, 12 years ago. For the full squad, it is the first official visit since 2018, eight years ago.<\/p>\n

Pyongyang-based Naegohyang Women’s Football Club was founded in 2012, and many of its players are national-team level. It has won North Korea’s top division twice and beat Suwon FC Women 3 to 0 in a group match in November last year.<\/p>\n

Suwon FC Women feature current and former national team players including So Yeon Ji (\uc9c0\uc18c\uc5f0), Hyeri Kim (\uae40\ud61c\ub9ac) and Yuri Choe (\ucd5c\uc720\ub9ac). In the quarter-finals in March, it thrashed defending champion Wuhan Jiangda of China 4 to 0 to reach the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Commentator Ji Hyun Jang (\uc7a5\uc9c0\ud604) and play-by-play announcer Jang Hyun Yoon (\uc724\uc7a5\ud604) will call the match. The winner on May 20 will play in the final against the winner of the semi-final between Melbourne City and Tokyo Verdy at 2 p.m. on May 23. Coupang Play will also broadcast live the remaining semi-final and the final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AFC Women’s Champions League semi-final.
