Abstract
Let be a multiplicatively written finite group. We denote by the smallest integer such that every sequence of elements in contains a product-one subsequence of length . In 1961, Erd\H{o}s, Ginzburg and Ziv proved that for every finite solvable group and this result is well known as the Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv Theorem. In 2010, Gao and Li improved this result to and they conjectured that holds for any finite non-cyclic group. In this paper, we confirm the conjecture for all finite non-cyclic groups of odd order.
