The Chinese men’s football team, which played in the top 12 of the world preliminaries, will probably not be able to play the game at home on September 7 against the Japanese team. The Chinese Football Association has initially selected Doha, Qatar as the “home field” to face its opponents. In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, not only the Japanese team in the first match will have to choose to play in a neutral place, but the national football team will be stationed in West Asia until the fourth round of the away game with the Saudi team on October 12. After that, will the team return to China? It will depend on the situation at that time.
According to the arrangement, the Chinese men’s football team is scheduled to gather in Shanghai on August 18 and begin the final preparations before the top 12 games.And after a week, that isAround August 26, the men’s national team will take a unified charter flight to Doha, Qatar, to prepare for the away game against Australia on September 2.. According to various previous information, the Chinese men’s football team also intends to place the second round of the game “home” in Doha. However, so far, neither Australia nor China has received any official news from Qatar.
As Australia, like China, is subject to strict immigration control restrictions, it is unable to host the game at home. Although the Australian Football Association has been communicating with government departments, hoping to play at home, it has not been able to make a breakthrough. under these circumstances,The Australian Football Association has contacted the Qatar Football Association as early as late July., And formally proposed that the first home game on September 2 will be in Doha, Qatar. The Chinese Football Association also made the same request after obtaining relevant information.
However, in view of the current epidemic in Qatar and related epidemic prevention policies, the Qatar Football Association also needs to report to the health department and epidemic prevention department of the Qatar government. After approval, the Australian team and the Chinese team can be allowed to play their home games in Doha. However, as of the time of the author’s publication,Qatar has not yet given a clear statement to the Australian Football Association and the Chinese Football Association.. This is why so far, there is no official news from the Australian Football Association or the Chinese Football Association. That is, the Australian Football Association has not announced the location and specific kick-off time of the first round, and the Chinese Football Association is the same, that is, the specific location and kick-off time of the second round of the game against the Japanese team on September 7 have not been officially announced. Of course, Australia’s opinion is:The kick-off time for the game against the Chinese team on the 2nd is initially set at 14:00 local time in Doha, that is, 19 pm Beijing time and 21 pm Sydney time, Australia.
Although Qatar has not yet confirmed the news, it is understood that the Australian Football Association and the Chinese Football Association are preparing for the game in Doha. Of course, the Chinese Football Association is also ready, that is, if Qatar disagrees, the Chinese Football Association will choose to go to the UAE, that is, Sharjah, who will compete in the final three rounds of the top 40 in June this year, as a substitute.

Moved to the UAE after the Doha trip
The preparations for the national football team to complete the first two rounds in West Asia are still being carried out in an orderly manner. However, I believe that the national football itself and the fans may be more concerned about the next arrangements. Judging from the current situation, after the National Football team set off for West Asia around August 26, before finishing the away game with the Saudi team on October 12, I am afraid it will not be possible to return to China, but will probably stay in West Asia for the entire time.
Affected by domestic anti-epidemic and anti-epidemic policies, if the national team returns to the country after playing against the Japanese team on September 7, the “14+7” quarantine policy will be implemented. In other words,All members of the national team were released from isolation on September 29 at the earliest.. But even if the isolation is lifted, the national team can only give all players a day off at most, because on October 7, the national football team will play against the Vietnam team at home for the third round. Moreover, judging from the current situation, can this game be played at home by then? It is still unknown. If you still cannot play at home, you can only fly to West Asia. This again involves the time difference and the consumption of the journey.
under these circumstances,The Chinese National Men’s Football Team and the Chinese Football Association decided that after the match with the Japanese team, the team and related staff simply continue to stay in West Asia. On the one hand, the team continues to prepare for the game, on the other hand, it can also avoid the back and forth journey. Consumption and jet lag. Of course, all the members of the team and the staff of the team are relatively hard. They must stay away from the motherland and their families for some time to come. But this is also the best choice for the Chinese Men’s Football and the Chinese Football Association under the current circumstances.
It is understood that after the team has played the game against the Japanese team in Doha, it is very likely that the camp will be located in Sharjah or Dubai in the UAE, as during the top 40. At the same time, the home game against the Vietnam team will also be released. In the UAE, then, Riyadh, who flew from the UAE to Saudi Arabia, challenged the Saudi team in an away game. In this way, although there are only 5 days during the third round to the fourth round on October 7th to 12th, it only takes 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours from Dubai to Riyadh, and the time difference is only 1 hour. The impact on the team and consumption are reduced to a minimum. This is even more convenient than flying from home to Saudi Arabia in China. Of course, this is not the national football’s willingness to give up the home court, it is really a helpless move under the current situation, and it is also the best choice after repeated weighing.

Whether it can return to home in November is difficult to determine
According to the schedule, the Chinese men’s football team will play two consecutive home games in November, that is, the Oman team will be played at home on November 11 and the Australian team will be played at home on November 16. At that time,Can the Chinese men’s football team return to the home court for a match?It is still not certain at present, and it will largely depend on the epidemic situation at that time, And it will also determine the next step of the national football team.
After the Chinese men’s football team ended their away game with the Saudi team on October 12, did they continue to stay in West Asia? Or return to the country directly from Saudi Arabia? This actually depends on whether the national football team can return to the home court in November. It is reported that the Chinese Football Association has been communicating with relevant parties. Even in the two rounds of the home game against Japan on September 7 and the Vietnam team on October 7, it has never given up the possibility of fighting at home.butWith the current prevention and control pressure and the overall situation, no domestic city is willing to take over the home stadium of the national football team.If you want to host the home stadium of the National Football Team, in the current situation, this city must be the city where the country’s designated entry and exit points are located. If it is not a designated entry and exit city, even if the local government department intends it, it is impossible to undertake it. Therefore, the national football team had to stay away from the local competition.
It is understood that the Chinese Football Association is still working hard so far. On the one hand, it hopes that the domestic epidemic can be quickly and effectively controlled and the situation improved; on the other hand, it is also maintaining communication with relevant departments and striving to achieve the 11 Return to home in January. Once returned to the home game, this will undoubtedly play a positive role in the subsequent games of the national football team. But under the current situation, the national football team can only find ways to overcome the various disadvantages and difficulties that cannot be played at home, and strive to have a good performance.Return to Sohu to see more
