Joe Montemurro, Australia head coach
“Any draw is tricky in a tournament. We have 12 top teams and it can go either way. Tournament football is on the day and we have to approach each game as it comes.

“Look, I never like to predict further than the next game. We got the Philippines as the opening game and that's going to be amazing at Perth. We're just looking forward to that one and will take each moment as it comes. We have to take those moments, that is tournament football. We're looking forward to it all.”

Tameka Yallop, Australia player
“I’m excited for the first game. We’ve played Philippines before in Perth. It’s nice to have the draw done and to know who we’re coming up against.

“We’re in a tournament, so we can’t be too overconfident and it’s not in our nature to do so anyways. There will be a lot of focus on our group stage games and that will be our priority until we crack that, then we move on from there.”

Shin Sang-woo, Korea Republic head coach
“I think our three opponents in the group are all excellent teams. I’m really looking forward to the match against Australia.

“We want to advance as the best team in the group and to do that, we will need to beat Australia which I believe to be possible. We played them in April and that will be a good tool to help us achieve a good result.”

Jeon Yu-gyeong, Korea Republic player
“Since we know the teams that we will be facing are strong, we will work even harder on our preparations. I’m most looking forward to the match against Australia.

“I always have confidence. To achieve our goal, we need to give our best efforts, so we’ll prepare well in our own way to succeed.”

Mark Torcaso, Philippines head coach
“Even before the draw, we knew it was going to be tough whoever we got. It’s going to be exciting to play against the host nation in the first game with a good crowd. Every team will be difficult here, we just need to be ready from our perspective.

“To get out of the group, we have to make sure to stick to our processes as a team and not worry too much about the opponents. If we can do that, I think we can advance.”
