On the afternoon of June 24, the UAE women's team with naturalized players arrived in Phu Tho to prepare for the qualifying round of Group E of the 2026 Asian Women's Football Championship.
Coming to the 2026 Asian Cup qualifiers, coach Vera Pauw brought many key players from Abu Dhabi Country Club, the number 1 team in this country. Abu Dhabi Country Club once faced Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club in the quarterfinals of the AFC Women's Champions League 2024/25.
In addition, the UAE team this time has the presence of many naturalized players from England or the US such as Elizabeth Forshaw, Mia Lindborg or Ava Steven... This promises to create a difference in the way the representative from West Asia plays.
