Live broadcast on August 11 according to the report of Beijing Youth Daily, Chongqing, Xi’an, Wuhan, Haikou and other cities have expressed their willingness to host the international warm-up match in October and the home court of the National Football FIFA World Cup qualification to the Chinese Football Association.
According to the plan, the competition department of the chinese football association will conduct the final round of inspection on the main candidate venues of the two international warm-up matches of the national football team in september and the professional stadium of phoenix mountain sports park in chengdu next week. The selection of home venues for the team’s hot season in October and the top 36 in November has also quietly begun.
At present, the City Football or sports management departments in several competition areas including Chongqing, Xi’an, Wuhan and Haikou have expressed their willingness to hold the competition to the Chinese Football Association. It is understood that in order to help the national football team adapt to all aspects of the home court conditions and environment, the Chinese Football Association may arrange the team’s warm-up match in October and the second round of the 36th round against South Korea in the same home court.
The Chinese Football Association has always adhered to a principle in selecting the main competition venue of the national football team, that is, it must be conducive to the preparation and competition of the national football team. On the one hand, the site conditions of the stadium should meet the quality standards. For example, the international warm-up matches of the national football team in June and September were respectively arranged in the newly built specialized stadium of Dalian Fish Bay and Chengdu Phoenix Mountain Sports Park. The two stadiums, like the egret stadium in Xiamen, were actually newly built as candidate venues for the 2023 Asian Cup competition. In addition, some media reported recently that the Xi’an International football center project has successfully completed the first joint debugging of the acoustic and photoelectric system, thus entering the countdown to full activation.
On the other hand, it is the home atmosphere. Like Chengdu, Xi’an is also recognized as one of the National Gold Medal City cities. During the 12th strong competition in Asia in Russia FIFA World Cup qualification, the scene of fans raising cards and asking for tickets at a high price outside the Zhu que stadium in Xi’an, the home court of the national football team is still vivid. During the 12th strong competition, the Chinese team once defeated the strong South Korean team at home in Changsha. It can be seen that a good home atmosphere plays a huge role in supporting the national football team.
The choice of the country’s hot opponent in October also attracted attention. The results of the group draw on July 27 show that the Chinese team will encounter the first team South Korea and the third team Thailand in the top 36. In view of this, the Chinese team may consider inviting a Southeast Asian team to warm up in the warm-up match in October. On the 11th, it was reported that the Vietnamese team, which had won the Chinese team for the first time in the last FIFA World Cup qualification 12 strong matches, would play a warm-up match with the South Korean team in October. The Chinese Football Association may also invite this team to warm up with the national football team. At present, related work is still under intense progress.
