Hwang is the only wedded woman in the squad and its oldest member at 31.

It will not be the first time her personal life has made World Cup headlines: husband Lee Du-hee popped the question on the pitch after South Korea drew with Costa Rica in Montreal at the last edition in 2015.Few expected Hwang to return to the WK League, South Korea’s top-tier women’s football competition, where only one mother – now retired – had played before.

“I didn’t want to hear people say ‘She’s had a baby”, or ‘She’s too old to play now’,” she told reporters.South Korea is Asia’s fourth biggest economy and a regional sporting power, one of only two Asian countries – alongside Japan – to have hosted both summer and winter Olympics. The country’s gender pay gap is the highest among developed economies, with working women only making 63% of what men earn.Kim Shin-wook, the best-paid player in the men’s K League 1, earned 1.6 billion won last year.

“This is such a meaningful achievement for South Korean society as a whole, where many women struggle to return to or find work after having children,” he said.On her doctor’s advice Hwang did not play football during her pregnancy. Five months after giving birth she started with weights and pilates and began training with a high school football team three months later.
