The China women's national football team (Chinese: 中国国家女子足球队; pinyin: Zhōngguó Guójiā Nǚzǐ Zúqiú Duì, recognized as China PR by FIFA) represents the People's Republic of China in international women's football competitions and is governed by the Chinese Football Association.[2]
China women's team won silver medals at the 1996 Summer Olympics and the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. It also has won 9 titles at Asian Cup and 3 Gold medals at Asian Games.
Nicknamed the Steel Roses (Chinese: 铿锵玫瑰),[3][4] they won several international titles in the 1990s,[5] during the Golden Generation.[4] The team lost some pace after the start of the 21st century,[5] winning their last AFC Asian Cup in 2006.[4] In 2023, the team was ranked as the 15th best in the world,[6] and also won the ninth AFC Asian Cup in their story, the first since 2006.[4]
