The 2023 Asian Cup has continued to attract the attention of domestic fans. It was originally planned that the Asian Cup would be held in China next year, but because the AFC insisted that the Asian Cup be fully open next year, and their attitude was also very tough. According to the current domestic epidemic prevention policies and situation, it is impossible to host a fully open Asian Cup. In the end, the China Asian Cup Organizing Committee had no choice but to give up the right to host the Asian Cup.
It is impossible for the Asian Cup to return to China
After China gave up hosting the Asian Cup, because no other country has stepped forward to host it, domestic media reported that the AFC had encountered an embarrassing situation, and some media even reported There is news that the AFC will make concessions and the Asian Cup is expected to return to China. However, such news has not been confirmed by any official. These reports that the Asian Cup will return to China are just some nonsense. In fact, in China After making the decision to give up hosting the Asian Cup, it already means that the Asian Cup will no longer be held in China, and it will not be held in China again in the next 2-3 years.
South Korea has decided to bid for the Asian Cup

Giving up hosting the Asian Cup is beneficial to the national football team
In fact, the Asian Cup will not be held in China, which is also a good thing for the Chinese team. Since the national football team once again failed in the World Cup qualifiers, the construction of the national football team has actually entered a new cycle. , Next, the national football team will focus on cultivating young players to prepare for the next World Cup qualifiers, and a group of veterans will also gradually withdraw from the national team stage. Next year’s Asian Cup will undoubtedly be a great opportunity to train newcomers, but If you want to train new people, you must make sacrifices in terms of performance.
The national football team will start the replacement of the old with the new
If the Asian Cup is still held in China next year, the national football team will be under great pressure in terms of performance. If they want to achieve good results, the veterans who have played an important role in the national team will obviously be It will not be easily abandoned. In this case, the task of upgrading the national team will undoubtedly be postponed, and the newcomers will also lose a very valuable training opportunity. Now that the Asian Cup has been abandoned, the pressure on the national football team is still It's a lot smaller. I hope the new national team can perform well in next year's World Cup preliminaries.
