Who will win the 2023 Asian Cup? This has become the focus of many media and fans. At present, the Korean Football Association has officially submitted a letter of intent to bid, and the Japanese Football Association, the Australian Football Association and the Iranian Football Association may also join the competition, which means The right to host the Asian Cup has become a hot topic. What is quite strange is that after the official announcement of the change of hosting rights by the AFC, the Chinese Football Association has remained silent and has not responded. Why is this? Korean media "NAVER" pointed out that the Chinese Football Association misjudged the situation and once believed that the AFC would return the hosting rights again. However, this was just wishful thinking. At present, the Chinese Football Association has regretted its strategy, but there is no room for salvation. .
Time goes back to May 15, 2022, when the AFC announced that the Asian Cup, originally scheduled to be held in China from June 16 to July 16, 2023, would be rescheduled. In other words, the AFC was deprived of our right to host. As soon as the news came out, the outside world also expressed understanding. However, the Chinese Football Association did not officially respond to the AFC, but maintained a silent attitude.
Korean media revealed that the atmosphere at the time was that if the AFC could not find a replacement before the end of June, the Chinese Football Association could regain the right to host the 2023 Asian Cup. However, some other Asian football associations want to give it a try. For example, the Korean Football Association has officially submitted a letter of intent.
The Korean media continued to write, "At present, the possibility of hosting the 2023 Asian Cup in China has completely disappeared. This is undoubtedly bad news. The Chinese Football Association regrets because they misjudged the situation and missed this opportunity."
According to Korean media, "When the Chinese Football Association had no choice but to give up the Asian Cup, the AFC was very embarrassed. It didn't know what to do for a while. It even persuaded the Chinese Football Association on May 31, hoping that it could change its mind. The AFC was very I trust Chinaās experience and facilities in hosting international events, but the Chinese Football Association did not respond and remained silent. "
However, many football associations in Asia currently hope to be the host of the 2023 Asian Cup. Even if we regret it, we can no longer make amends. Because the Korean Football Association is already ready to make a move, and the Japanese Football Association has similar ideas. Football powers such as Australia and Iran are also eager to host an Asian Cup. Therefore, the Asian Cup does not have to worry about no country hosting the Asian Cup next summer!
