The Insideworldfootball LIVE MATCH CHANNEL continues this weekend with the start of the EAFF East Asian Cup tournament from Wuhan, China. We have every match from both men’s and women’s competitions live. Japan, South Korea, China and North Korea are the qualified teams in both finals competitions. The women kick off Saturday August 1 with North Korea against World Cup finalists Japan, followed by China vs South Korea (http://www.insideworldfootball.com/watch-live-football/eaff-womens). The men kick off the following day with North Korea vs Japan and China vs South Korea (http://www.insideworldfootball.com/watch-live-football).
Japan are the red hot favourites to retain their women’s title after making it to this year’s FIFA World Cup Final in Canada, before losing to the US. All their World Cup stars are in action. This is the fifth edition of the women’s championship.
In the men’s competition Japan will also start favourites to retain their crown won in 2013. But South Korea are returning to form, and football in a re-emerging Chinese market with big money players and expectations to match will make for a tense schedule.
These are pay per view events and cost $9.95 for 24-hour access, or $19.95 for the full tournament. Note, some territories are geo-blocked. In these countries please check your local broadcaster schedules for channels and match timings.
