Japan will face Korea Republic in the semi-final of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ at Stadium Australia in Sydney on Wednesday, 18 March, with kick-off scheduled for 8.00pm AEDT.
The match will decide which side advances to the final on 21 March, where the winner will meet the victor of the other semi-final between Australia and China PR.
Ahead of the fixture, Mr Osamu Yamanaka, Consul-General of Japan in Sydney, and Mr Yong Jun Choi, Consul-General of the Republic of Korea in Sydney, took part in a football-themed photo opportunity in Sydney.
The engagement formed part of activities leading into the match between two of Asia’s established national teams, both of which have progressed through the tournament to reach the final four.
Japan and Korea Republic enter the semi-final after strong performances during the group and knockout stages, with both sides aiming to secure a place in the final.
The fixture at Stadium Australia is expected to draw supporters from across communities, with tickets available through official sales channels.
The tournament continues in Sydney as the remaining teams compete for a place in the final later this week.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
