On the evening of February 20, Beijing time, the Winter Olympics, which lasted for more than ten days, finally came to an official end. This Winter Olympics, China once again showed the world the style of a big country, many viewers have praised the Winter Olympics, and have a new understanding of China. In the medal table, the Chinese team also made a historic breakthrough, winning 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze, surpassing the United States in one fell swoop and ranking third in the medal table, second only to Norway and Germany.
China hosted the Olympic Games twice in 2008 and 2022 respectively, and both times achieved great success, hosting the Olympic Games not only greatly improved our international status, but also helped to promote the development of Chinese sports. In addition, after the Olympic Games, more sports facilities began to be built, and more people began to exercise. As the world's largest sport, football's influence even exceeds that of the Olympic Games, and football also has hundreds of millions of fans in China. In the recently concluded Women's Asian Cup final, the Chinese women's football team won 3-2 against South Korea, which made many Chinese fans feel extremely proud, but the influence of the women's football team has always been inferior to the men's football team, and the Chinese men's football team is now in a very bad situation.
The Chinese men's football team was brutally abused 3-1 by Vietnam on the evening of February 1, and completely lost the opportunity to qualify from the group. The Chinese men's football team wants to impact the World Cup again, and it will have to wait another four years. In this World Preliminary Tournament, the Chinese men's football team also failed to reach the World Cup with the help of 4 naturalized players. Now, with the successive explosions of Chinese Super League teams such as Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning, Jinyuan football has completely failed, and the Chinese Football Association may not be able to engage in naturalization policies. Although the 2026 World Cup will be expanded, and there will be 8.5 places in the Asian region, in the Asian scope, the teams that are stronger than the national football team are Japan, South Korea, Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and even Vietnam, Oman and other Asian teams are also very hopeful to complete the counter-overtaking of China within a few years. As far as the current situation of Chinese football is concerned, it is almost very difficult for the Chinese men's football team to enter the World Cup.
In this case, some media proposed that China should apply to host the World Cup, the 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar, and the 2026 World Cup has been determined to be jointly hosted by Canada, the United States and Mexico, and the 2030 World Cup is likely to be jointly hosted by Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, so China can apply for the right to host the World Cup in 2034. Once the application is successful, as the host, China can directly get the opportunity to enter the World Cup, which is perhaps the fastest and most convenient channel for the Chinese men's football team to enter the World Cup. Previously, there were rumors that Lippi revealed that the Chinese Football Association hopes to win the World Cup in 2034, and the Chinese Football Association's desire to win the championship is almost impossible at present, but it is still very promising to participate in the World Cup in 2034.
China's hosting of the World Cup can not only make it easy for the Chinese men's football team to enter the World Cup, but also promote the development of Chinese football. However, some fans are worried that with the strength of the Chinese men's football team, they will become the weakest host and be ridiculed by various countries. Some fans even bluntly said that in addition to the Chinese male enough, All aspects of China are ready to host the World Cup.
