The amazing victory led people to look back at the team’s early days. Those were years of great challenges. In 1986, the China women’s football team played its first international match. Both of the teams played hard, but China lost 2–1 to the USA. However, the players never gave up. They took every chance to learn and improve.
For years, the team created many “firsts”? in China’s sporting history. People wondered about the key to their success. A team member explained it with just one simple sentence: “All of us love football and have the same goal.”
