History will be made on Wednesday night when Auckland United FC plays Wuhan Jiangda in the first match at the newly launched FIFA Women’s Champions Cup in Wuhan, China.
The Oceania champions take on the Asian champions in their own backyard. Auckland United qualified to represent Oceania by winning the OFC Women’s Champions League in May in Tahiti, having retained the title they won in the Solomon Islands last year.
Before their departure for China, OFC visited the team at their Keith Hay Park training ground in Auckland, to find out what goes into making a champion team.
