The AFC recently released an announcement stating clearly that the AFC is responsible for the travel expenses of the Guam national team and AFC officials in the UAE, as well as the living and transportation expenses of all participating teams and referees in the region.
In the face of this request, our Football Association quickly responded. According to the official news, our Guam team and AFC tournament officials will take a chartered flight together with our delegation from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Sharjah, UAE at 1:00 p.m. on the 3rd. In addition, the AFC will also be responsible for the accommodation and transportation arrangements for the participating teams in Sharjah.
In response, numerous members of the media have expressed their views:
Media personality Li Xuan commented, "This host country when really 'unique', although not the hosting rights, but to bear the business rights and interests and the mainland media rights, but also to bear the participating teams in Dubai, accommodation and transportation costs."
Zhao Zhen said: "The preliminaries for the inability of the Forty Ten teams to enter our country were certainly worked out when the home stadiums were determined, including the costs and responsibilities, which were clearly defined in advance. Our country's willingness to bear these is a prerequisite for hosting the second phase of the tournament. Otherwise, the AFC might have simply appointed a third host venue. Was the money spent aggressively? A little. But isn't that what the FA should do to ensure the best interests of the national team?"
Reporter Chen Yong teased, "I still don't understand why Syria is always so active, haha." Chen Yong then replied to the netizen, "It's a treat for yourself, but it turns out that you can't treat yourself at home, so you have to go to someone else's house to borrow a place to treat yourself."
Xu Jiang, on the other hand, argued, "Does anyone really think that the national soccer team can get out of the group stage without the help of referees and the coordination of the AFC? Some problems are not problems when they can be solved with money. Fans need to understand that a competition like the World Cup is not just about the ability of the players on the field, but also about overall strength. This overall strength contains too many things. Look at the advertisement board of AFC, how many companies in Japan and South Korea, right? Always talk about the right to speak, the right to speak is by 'face painting' to get?"
Media person Lu Yang humorously said, "For Syria, as long as not abandon the game can be out of the line ...... but eventually a check, found that people may not even get together, that is indeed not to make trouble."
Anchor Li Jing lamented, "Beat down your teeth and swallow."
