Recently, according to the Japanese media "Nikkan Sports" reported that the Japanese team or will send a U21 national team, in July this year in China's East Asian Cup competition.
It is reported that the Japanese U21 national team, which was formed to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, will represent the Japanese adult national team in the East Asian Cup in July this year. If the Chinese men's football team wants to "avenge" at the doorstep of its home, it is estimated that it is impossible...
As is customary, the East Asian Cup will be held in December every year. However, this year, since the Qatar World Cup will be held in November-December, the timing of the East Asian Cup has also been changed.
Previously, EAFA officially announced that the 2022 East Asian Cup will be held in China in July, with a match date of July 19-27, 2022, with four teams from each of the men's and women's football teams participating.
As the host of the 2022 East Asian Cup, whether it is the Chinese men's football team or the women's football team, I believe that it will play the competition held at home with the strongest lineup and strive to compete for the championship of the event.
On the other hand, China's 01-age national Olympic team also needs to prepare for the Olympic preliminaries, and this team has few opportunities to exercise, whether the Chinese Football Association will also send a 01-age national Olympic team to participate, there is no exact news.
