Fans who follow domestic football must know that earlier, the China Asian Cup Organizing Committee and AFC have successively issued announcements that the China Asian Cup originally scheduled to be held next summer has been canceled due to the epidemic. The Football Federation will look for a new host country to host this event. But now it is less than a year since the start of the Asian Cup . In a short period of time, whether the AFC can find a suitable successor has become the focus of many fans. According to the latest news from foreign media, there is no need to worry about this, because the right to host the Asian Cup is a "hot potato"!
Not long ago, the Korean Football Association issued an official announcement. The announcement showed that the Korean Football Association has officially submitted an application to host the Asian Cup to the AFC. After the AFC’s deliberations, the final host country will be announced. The last time South Korea hosted the Asian Cup dates back to 1960. In that event, the South Korean team, playing as the host nation, fulfilled its mission and successfully won the championship. But since then, the South Korean team has never won the Asian Cup championship trophy. Perhaps this time, the Korean Football Association also hopes to use its status as the host to help the Korean team win the cup again!
South Korea is already the fifth country to submit an application to host the Asian Cup. After China gave up hosting, Asian countries began to take action and started competing for the right to host the Asian Cup. The day before, the Indonesian Football Association also announced in a high-profile manner that it hopes to bid to host the 2023 Asian Cup, bringing Asia's top football event to Southeast Asia once again. In addition, Australia, Japan and Qatar have expressed their stance early on that they hope to host the Asian Cup to solve the urgent needs of the AFC!
According to past rules, the Asian Cup has always been held in rotation between East and West Asia. After the United Arab Emirates from West Asia hosted it in 2019, the right to host the 2023 Asian Cup should be handed over to East Asian countries. Therefore, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Indonesia have a greater chance of winning. However, considering the national strength of Indonesia and the fact that Australia will host the Women's World Cup next year, the time will conflict with the Asian Cup. After a comprehensive comparison, the winning rate of Japan and South Korea is undoubtedly greater!
And this is undoubtedly good news for Chinese fans. If the Asian Cup moves to Japan or South Korea, then our time to watch the game will not be affected in any way. After all, Japan and South Korea are adjacent to us, and the time is not much different. You don’t need to stay up late to watch the national football game.
I hope that the Chinese men’s football team can compete this time and strive to achieve good results in next year’s Asian Cup and win back the hearts of the fans!
