According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the CFA national team management department has officially launched the logistical support for the national football team for this stage of the tournament, although the team will face the challenge of traveling to Australia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and other countries to participate in away games, but the CFA did not plan to arrange chartered flights for the team to visit, but will strictly enforce the relevant financial regulations, and strive to do in the logistics support "Keep it simple" and economize.
It is reported that the national football team will fly directly from Dalian to Tokyo, Japan on September 2 to participate in the match with Japan after about half a month of training at the Barracuda Bay Stadium training ground in Dalian. The team's logistical support team has begun to implement the international air tickets and hotel reservations, training venues to confirm the work to ensure that the team travel smoothly.
Unlike in the past, the CFA did not arrange chartered flights for the national football team to play in the 18th round of the tournament. This is mainly based on the current environment of Chinese soccer and the high cost of chartered flights. Although in the last World Qualifier 12 period, due to force majeure factors, the CFA had for the national football part of the away trip arrangements chartered flights, but now it is no longer possible to make similar arrangements.
In terms of travel arrangements, there are more direct flights between Dalian and Tokyo, Japan, and the flight distance and time is relatively short, which will help the team to quickly adapt to the time difference and reduce the travel effort. However, for the away match against Australia on October 10, as there are no direct flights from Qingdao and other domestic port cities to Adelaide, the CFA will need to carefully study how to properly arrange this away trip.
In terms of accommodation, the national soccer team will also adhere to the principle of frugality. In addition to the head coach Ivankovic according to the provisions of the business class, the rest of the team members are required to take the economy class. In addition, the team will not rent the entire hotel, but for security and other factors, the team members of the room will be concentrated in the hotel on individual floors, and in principle, according to the "two people a room" for the allocation of rooms for the players. If a player wishes to have a room to himself, he will be required to pay the difference in room rates at his own expense.
In addition, there are no specific arrangements within the Chinese team regarding reports of family members visiting the players. The national football team will focus on preparations and matches, and strive to achieve good results in the 18-team tournament.
