China women's national football team

The China women's national football team represents the People's Republic of China in international women's football.

China had held the record of going for 442 minutes without conceding a World Cup goal, until it was broken by Germany on September 26, 2007 when Germany beat Norway 3-0 in the semi-finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2007.^[1]

Since China is still a Communist country, the women are paid directly by the Chinese FA, which in turn is a government-owned corporation.
