Teams Preview
Chinese Taipei Preview
Chinese Taipei head into this clash brimming with confidence after pushing China to the limit in the quarterfinals, holding firm despite facing 30 attempts (10 on target) and only conceding in extra time. Their defensive discipline has been a standout throughout, even restricting Japan to just a 2-0 win—an impressive feat considering Japan’s dominance elsewhere.
Their approach is clear: stay compact, frustrate opponents, and strike when chances arise. Against an inexperienced DPR Korea side, that strategy could prove effective. Much will depend on their backline and goalkeeper Cheng Ssu-yu, who made seven saves against China. With a historic World Cup spot within reach, Chinese Taipei will be determined to seize the moment.
Chinese Taipei Probable Starting Lineup - Cheng Ssu-yu (GK); Huang Ke-sin, Su Sin-yun, Chen Ying-hui, Chang Chi-lan, Chen Jin-wen, Wu Kai-ching, Hsu Yi-yun, Saki Matsunaga, Su Yu-hsuan, Chen Yu-chin.

However, inexperience showed in key moments—first against China, where they lost 2-1 after leading early, and then in the semifinals against Australia, where they dominated with 21 shot attempts, including 11 on target, but still fell 2-1.but still fell 2-1.
Now on the brink of a World Cup return after 15 years, much will depend on the attacking duo of Myong Yu-jong and Kim Kyong-yong, who have scored four and three goals respectively.
DPR Korea Probable Starting Lineup - Yu Son-gum (GK); Ri Myong-gum, Ri Hye-gyong, An Kuk-hyang, Song Chun-sim, Myong Yu-jong, Kim Song-gyong, Hong Song-ok, Chae Un-yong, Han Jin-hong, Choe Il-son.
