The women's tournament will take place on July 9, 13, and 16. Four countries namely South Korea, Japan, China and North Korea were originally scheduled to participate, but as North Korea announced their absence, Taiwan, the second-ranked team in the preliminary round, will take the stage instead. The women's tournament will be held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on July 9 and 16, and at Hwaseong Sports Town on July 13 to prevent overlapping with K League 2 Suwon Samsung. 토토사이트
