At 2 p.m. local time on March 25, the Chinese team left Sharjah, UNITED Arab Emirates. After a 51-minute flight, the team arrived in Muscat, Oman at 2:51 p.m. local time. After arriving at the resident hotel, which is less than 10 km from the airport and taking a short break, the whole team will head to the stadium at 7 p.m. local time for the first training session after arriving in the local area.
Being able to draw the powerful Saudi Arabian team in the last home match of this round of 12 can be described as a relief for the national football team and the forward working group of the Chinese Football Association. In a relatively relaxed atmosphere, the whole team left the hotel at 12:30 noon local time on March 25 and headed for Sharjah Airport, followed by Oman Air Flight WY2622 to Muscat.
Because the team had to return to Sharjah after playing the final match with Oman and returned home with the U23 national football team that participated in the Dubai Cup, the national football team left a large luggage in the hotel in Sharjah.
The flight distance from Sharjah to Muscat is only more than 330 kilometers, so the flight and taxi time of the national football charter flight accumulates less than 1 hour. Before entering Oman, the members of the national football delegation showed the vaccination certificate to the airport staff, and then the whole team successfully entered the country.
Due to the communication with the local travel agency in advance about the reception work, the national football team immediately boarded the bus under the guidance of the local escort personnel after leaving the airport and went straight to the hotel. The hotel where the national football team stays in Muscat is not far from the airport, so after more than 10 minutes by car, the whole team arrives at the hotel. After consultation, the hotel separates two floors for the national football team and sets up a special passage, thus forming a closed loop for the team to prevent the epidemic.
During the period of muscat, the national football team was still in the "bubble epidemic prevention closed loop". Although the other floors of the hotel are normally open to the public, the hotel has made the necessary isolation of the hotel elevator, restaurant, conference room and other areas according to the requirements of the national football team, so as to create convenient conditions for the team.
At 7 p.m. local time on the 25th, the team departed from the hotel to the stadium for the first training after arriving in Oman. The training content is mainly based on physical recovery.
