Taiwan’s top club soccer competitions are to start today with three women’s matches in Taichung, while there are three men’s games scheduled for Taipei and Hsinchu County tomorrow.

The Taichung Blue Whales — the defending champions of the Mulan Football League — host the Taipei Bravo Bears, formerly Taipei PlayOne, to cap the opening-day matches at the Taiyuan Soccer Field in Taichung’s Beitun District at 4pm.

At 10am at the same venue, New Taipei City-based Hang Yuan face Inter Taipei, followed by Hualien against Kaohsiung Sunny Bank at 2pm.
