China are ranked 19th in the world by FIFA but their form is hard to gauge because they haven’t played yet in 2024. Their final matches of 2023 were a pair of away defeats to the USA. They won the Asian Cup as recently as 2022, but they have been in a rebuild since then, a process led by former Matildas coach Ante Milicic.
Earlier in 2023 China were based in Adelaide for the Women’s World Cup, but their stay included a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of England.
