Same reasons basically why Victoria only got a small number of games compared to other States, for last year's WWC.
Japan, Sth Korea and China could pull reasonable crowds - but yeah the rest not so much. North Korea for the novelty aspect possibly. They are also the 2nd best FIFA ranked team in Asia at 11th. I think they pulled out of AFC qualifying for last year's WWC due to Covid. Of course the Supreme leader tells us no one died of it there in the Democratic People's Republic.
Japan are ranked 7th & Matildas 12th.
Hopefully NZF can get a few teams to visit NZ for warm up games against the Ferns.
