Original title: World Preliminary Asian Top 12 National Football Team may play in West Asia for the first four games
As the time for the first match of the top 12 national football teams in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region is getting closer and closer, the preparations for the Chinese Football Association are also in full swing.
On the afternoon of the 12th, the Football Association announced a list of 31 Chinese men’s football players preparing for the top 12 matches. According to the plan, the national football team will train in Shanghai on August 17. Among them, the players participating in the Super League make-up match will report to the team’s residence before 18:00 on August 19th. As the only player on the list to play in overseas leagues, Wu Lei will report to the venue of the first game before August 26.
According to the schedule, the first two games of the Chinese team will be away against Australia on September 2 and the Japanese team at home on September 7. However, affected by the epidemic, no domestic city has confirmed that it can host the national football home game. In this case, the Chinese Football Association had to formulate other alternatives in order to help the team implement the “home court” issues in time. And it happens that Australia is temporarily unable to play home games in China. In this case, the first two games of the national football team will most likely be held in West Asia.
At the same time, the Football Association also considers that if the domestic home is still unable to be implemented after the first two games, then the next two games in October will probably continue to be played in West Asia. According to the schedule, the national football team will face the lowest ranked Vietnam team in this group at home on October 7. This game is a must-win for the national football team.
