China 2019 Women’s World Cup Nike Kits

In 1999, the Chinese Women’s National Team was one penalty shootout away from claiming the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

It was the culmination of a dominant period for the federation, one that included seven consecutive Asian trophies and high finishes in all major international tournaments.

The moment in history also gave China’s women a long-lasting nickname: Steel Roses.

Twenty years later, the blend of toughness and femininity conveyed by that moniker defines the current squad. A rebirth, or more directly, a reprise of those glory years, remains the goal; the all new China FIFA World Cup 2019 away kit is a symbol of that opportunity.

“Since my first day on pitch, it has been my dream to become a professional football player and represent China – to compete in our national jersey and bring national pride to team China,” says midfielder Wang Shuang, who plays club football at PSG. “Now my dream has come true. I hope we achieve new heights and obtain good results in France.”

China’s 2019/20 Nike away shirt carries a brilliant all-over Phoenix print conveying femininity and virtue. Crimson pops on the sleeve enliven the gray tonal body, and a second Phoenix print sits within the kit as a symbol of inner pride.

The Chinese women will wear their 2018/19 Nike home kit along with their new alternate jersey at World Cup 2019.

Both are expected to be available at World Soccer Shop, UK Soccer Shop, Lovell Soccer, Pro:Direct Soccer, Subside Sports and Kitbag.
