Veteran midfielder Lee Min-ah, who played 83 A matches, is expected to transfer to Ottawa Lapid in the Canadian Women's Soccer League Northern Super League (NSL).
Lee Min-ah's management Lee Gyeol Sports Agency said on the 10th, "Lee Min-ah has agreed on the terms of the contract with Ottawa Lapid, and his joining will be confirmed after final procedures such as medical tests."
Lee Min-ah had played for Incheon Hyundai Steel, a prestigious women's professional soccer team in the WK League, until last season. Having been considered as a midfielder representing the WK League, Lee has sought to advance overseas in recent years with the determination to compete at a higher level.
Negotiations were also held with clubs in Germany and Spain, but the transfer was not made due to various variables.
Born in 1991, Lee Min-ah, who is in her mid-30s, tried to play abroad once again ahead of this season and received offers from several clubs, including Europe's main top flight. Finally, he chose Ottawa Lapid.
Ottawa was recommended by Colin Bell, head coach of China's under-20 women's national team, who led the Korean women's team, and the fact that the team's position was guaranteed to some extent, with coach Katrina Pedersen explaining Lee Min-ah's plan to appoint her in detail, seems to have affected it.
Another key player of the Korean women's national team, Choo Hyo-joo, will also join Ottawa, and if Lee Min-ah's transfer is finalized, the two players will share the same team.
Meanwhile, the NSL will officially launch in April, with the goal of making a leap forward in the world's top five women's professional soccer leagues. Six teams, including Ottawa, will compete in their first year, guaranteeing an annual salary of at least $50,000 (W73 million) for all players at the league level. 카지노
In addition, each team's salary cap is set at $1.6 million (about W2.33 billion). As copyright is ranked sixth in the FIFA Women's Rankings, attention is also being paid to the competitiveness of the new league.
