Just before the commencement of the 2026 Women's Asian Cup finals, the Thaicoach, Mr. Prasobchoke Chokemor, was formally appointed as the head coach of the Chinese Taipei women's national football team. Previously, he had served as the interim head coach since September 2025, following the resignation of Chan Hiu Ming.

"Currently, Japan is ranked first in Asia, Vietnam is sixth, Taiwan (China) is seventh, and India is right behind us," Coach Prasobchoke said. "Overall, we have a significant opportunity to advance to the next round. However, every football match is different, and we have thoroughly analyzed each opponent. Our primary goal at this stage is to reach the quarter-finals. We will give our utmost effort and hope the fans will continue to support the Taiwan (China) women's national football team."
