TheSouth Korea women's national football team (Korean: 대한민국 여자 축구 국가대표팀, recognised asKorea Republic byFIFA) representsSouth Korea in internationalwomen's football competitions. The South Korean women's team has qualified for fourFIFA World Cups in 2003, 2015 (when they reached the round of 16), 2019 and 2023.
Less than a year after the government of the Republic of Korea was established in 1948, the first official women's football matches were held inSeoul on 28 and 29 June 1949, as a part of the National Girls' and Women's Sport Games. While women'sbasketball andvolleyball won public recognition through the Games, football was seen as being unsuitable for women and unattractive to the public. As a result, the women's teams were disbanded soon after the event.[3]
When women's football was officially adopted at the1990 Asian Games inBeijing, the South Korean sports authorities decided to form a women's team with athletes from other sports and send the team to the Games.[3] The result was defeat in all matches againstJapan,North Korea,China andChinese Taipei.[4] Nevertheless, colleges and corporations started to launch women's football teams through the 1990s and the first annual national women's football event, the Queen's Cup, was held in 1993.[5] When the1999 FIFA Women's World Cup sparked interest worldwide, the South Korean ministry in charge of sports sponsored the foundation of new teams and tournaments for girls’ high school teams, university teams and company teams. To promote women's football, the Korea Women's Football Federation (KWFF) was established in March 2001, as an independent organization in association with theKorea Football Association (KFA).[3]
South Korea finished in third place at the2003 AFC Women's Championship and qualified for theFIFA Women's World Cup for the first time. TheTaegeuk Ladies were drawn inGroup B withNorway,France andBrazil. Their first match played at the World Cup was a 3–0 loss to Brazil. They then lost 1–0 to France and 7–1 to Norway,[6] withKim Jin-hee scoring South Korea's first ever World Cup goal against the latter. They also won the inauguralEAFF Championship on home soil in 2005.[7]
The notable talents in South Korea appeared in the late 2000s. They won the2009 Summer Universiade and the2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, as well as finishing third at the2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[8][9] The number of Women's World Cup berths in Asia was increased from three to five in 2012,[10] which saw South Korea qualify for the2015 FIFA Women's World Cup as the fourth-placed team at the2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup.[11] They earned their first ever World Cup victory by defeatingSpain 2–1 after a 2–0 loss to Brazil and a 2–2 draw withCosta Rica inGroup E. They made it out of the group stage for the first time with the new generation, although losing 3–0 to France in theround of 16.[12][13]
The South Korea women's national football team has been known or nicknamed as the "Taegeuk Ladies" (태극낭자,Taegeuk Nangja).
The women's team usually use exactly the same kit as itsmale counterpart, along with the combinations available, as of 2023.However, there were many combinations that the men's team never used.

South Korea has along-standing rivalry withJapan. The two sides met for the first time in 1990, as South Korea suffered a 1–13 defeat to the hand of Japan. South Korean women's team trailed behind Japan with just 4 wins, 11 draws and 18 losses as of 2022, in contrast to the fairly dominant performance of themen's team. The reason for South Korea's weaker performance against Japan is that South Korea started to develop women's football much later than Japan. South Korea'sWK League was founded 20 years later than Japan'sNadeshiko League.[14]
The following is a list of match results in the last 12 months, as well as any future matches that have been scheduled.[15][16]
