A chartered flight from Shanghai Pudong International Airport sent the delegation on their journey on the evening of November 6, Beijing time. After a 9-hour and 34-minute flight, the team arrived in Dubai in the early morning of the 7th local time. Although this trip to West Asia was similar to the previous ones, the close cooperation between the CFA and the UAE FA and Sharjah locals ensured a smooth and trouble-free trip. Upon arrival, the team quickly completed the immigration formalities at the airport, followed by about an hour's drive to their hotel in Sharjah. After checking into the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, the team will strictly abide by the anti-epidemic regulations and will not be allowed to go out without permission.

It is worth mentioning that striker Wu Lei, who plays for Espanyol Football Club, took part in the 13th round of La Liga's home match with Granada on the afternoon of the 6th local time and came on as a substitute in the match. As Wu Lei missed the direct flight to Dubai that night, he will arrive on a flight that takes off in the afternoon of the 7th local time. Nonetheless, national soccer coach Li Tie is always confident in Wu Lei and expects him not to miss any of the pre-match technical and tactical training.
