In the late afternoon, a bombshell was first revealed by the Japanese media that the AFC had given instructions to the 12 teams taking part in the 12-team tournament to prepare for a change in the format - the 12-team tournament would be transformed from a home-and-away system to a conference system.
Immediately after that, the domestic media made waves again, reporting that the Football Association (FA) is going all out for the right to host the Top 12 tournament! It is reported that the FA will formally submit a hosting application to the AFC in a day or two!
In order to ensure that China's national soccer team performs well in the Top 12, and strive to get out of the group, and then realize the goal of rushing to the Qatar World Cup, the Football Association believes that applying to host the Top 12 is the best strategy. The national team, playing at home, will undoubtedly increase its chances of reaching the Qatar World Cup if it can master this advantage!
As a matter of fact, our country has sufficient conditions for hosting the event. First of all, the epidemic control in China is better than that overseas, and in terms of epidemic prevention, China is the first choice of the AFC to host the tournament. Secondly, we have rich experience and capacity in organizing tournament-based events, having successfully hosted the Top 40.
It is reported that the Football Association is full of confidence in the success of the application for the hosting of the Final 12. After all, in the Top 40, the venue had suddenly changed, and the AFC owes the national football team a favor for this. In addition, the Football Association has also made preparations for the possibility of continuing to host the 12-team tournament in West Asia.
Frankly speaking, if the Football Association succeeds in securing the hosting rights for the Top 12, with the home advantage, favorable terrain and the hearts and minds of the people, the expectation of China's national soccer team to come out on top of the Top 12, finish in the top two and advance directly to the World Cup finals in Qatar will be greatly enhanced!
