The AFC officially announced that there are currently four countries bidding for the 2023 Asian Cup, namely Australia, Indonesia, South Korea and Qatar. This means that China has completely failed to host it, and Japan has withdrawn. Next year's Asian Cup, the goal of the national football team should be very clear, that is, the group qualifies!
In May, the AFC announced that the 2023 Asian Cup in China will be held in a different place. However, the AFC has not announced which countries are bidding for the 2023 Asian Cup. Fans speculate that with the resumption of home and away games in the Chinese Super League, is it possible for the Asian Cup to return to China?
Now, the 2023 Asian Cup will not return to China, the AFC announced that Australia, Indonesia, South Korea, Qatar submitted bids, And on October 17, the new host will be announced.
The 2023 Asian Cup was originally scheduled to be held in China from June 16 to July 16, and now, while it is uncertain who the host will be, the timing will certainly be different.
It is worth mentioning that Japan withdrew from the Asian Cup bid. Originally, the Japanese team considered bidding for the Asian Cup, but now it has given up.
South Korea is now a favourite to host the Asian Cup, and the South Korean team hasn't hosted the tournament since 1960, and the last time Taiji Tiger won the Asian Cup was in 1960!
Today, the South Korean team has a world-class superstar like Son Heung-min, and the level of South Korean football is also the best in Asia, next year, if South Korea is the host, under the leadership of Son Heung-min, the South Korean team will attack the first Asian Cup in 63 years. Playing for the Korean team, Son Heung-min is obligated.
Originally, if the national football team was the host, the goal was to reach at least the top 8 of the Asian Cup. But now, the national football team is not the host, and the goal should be to qualify from the group. Moreover, it is somewhat difficult for the national football team to qualify. In addition, there is also a suspense, naturalized international players Axon, Luo Guofu and others have expressed their willingness to play in the Asian Cup for the national football team, but will the Football Association and the national football team recruit naturalized players into the national team? Now it's also a question mark!
