If the rest of the world caught up with Asia before inching ahead in the 21st century in the men’s game, the continent has never been the standard-bearer in the women’s. No Asian team has won an Olympic gold or a World Cup title in the combined 27 editions of these tournaments. In fact, in the 15 World Cups, only three times has an Asian team made the semifinals, with China’s run in 2002 being the most recent.
