Women’s football: November dates for the diary

Wednesday 1 November
The second round group stage will reach its conclusion, with the three group winners and the best runner-up reaching the semi-finals. It would take a miracle for Australia or Japan to miss out, but Korea Republic and Korea DPR are level on four points in Group B, with China PR just a point behind. The race to finish as the best runner-up is even wider open, with IR Iran, Philippines, Uzbekiatan and Vietnam still in the running.
