Wang Shuang accepts an exclusive interview with FIFA and looks forward to appearing in the Women s Championship Cup

The official website of FIFA recently released an exclusive interview with Chinese female football player Wang Shuang. She expressed her hope to promote the development of Chinese women's football team by participating in high-level events such as the Women's Football Championship.

On October 8, the qualifying round of the first FIFA Women's Football Championship will kick off in Wuhan. As the new champion of the AFC Women's Football Club Chaegujiang Women's Football Team, Wuhan Chegujiang Women's Football Team will face the winner of the Oceania Champions League Auckland United Women's Football Team at that time. The winner between the two teams will face the new African Women's Champions League champion in the second round in December (generated in November) to compete for a ticket to the final stage (January 28 to February 1, 2026).

In an exclusive interview with FIFA, Wang Shuang said: "We have very good willpower and our team is very united. This game is not just for the club, we hope to get recognition from more people, and we hope to promote the development of Chinese women's football through a high-level game... Both teams need such a high-level platform to let everyone see them. The significance of the game is not just the level of the game. I think what is more important is to be able to participate in such a game and be seen and remembered by everyone. No matter who wins in the end, I think this is a positive signal for the development of Asian and Chinese women's football."

"We are looking forward to playing against the best teams in the world. We must maintain a positive attitude and enjoy the game, but we must move forward step by step. It is a long journey." She said.

30-year-old Wang Shuang has played for Paris Saint-Germain (France), Athletic Louisville (USA) and Tottenham Hotspur (England). In the 2024-2025 AFC Women's Football Club Champions League final in May last year, Wang Shuang scored a key goal for Wuhan Women's Football Team in the second half in stoppage time, dragging the game into overtime. In the end, Wuhan Women's Football Team defeated Melbourne City, Australia in the penalty shootout and won the championship.
