List of 23 Palestinian visitors to China
According to information from Myanmar, Michael Fechtenbeina, the German head coach of the Myanmar national team, announced a 33-man roster, including players who play in leagues in Southeast Asian neighboring leagues such as Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The team has been concentrated in Yangon since yesterday, and after a week of training, Fechten-Beinner will choose about 24 players to travel to Dalian to play against the Chinese national team before moving to Macau for the second warm-up match with Macau on the 20th of this month. This visit to China is Fechten-Beinner's second training camp since taking over the Myanmar national team in February, and in March this year, he led the Myanmar team to India to participate in a three-nation match, losing 1-0 to India and drawing 1-1 to Kyrgyzstan.

The Palestinian team announced a 23-member national team roster yesterday (6th). According to the 23-man list, the Palestinian national team could not form the strongest team to play this time, including captain, defender Musab Batat who plays for Egypt, goalkeeper Amr Kadora who plays in the professional league in Sweden, and striker Oday Dabagh who plays for Aruga in the Portuguese Premier League, among which Cardora is due to personal reasons and Dabagh is due to injury. In addition, since the Palestinian U22 Olympic team will participate in the fourth West Asia U23 Championship in Iraq at the same time to prepare for the Olympic qualifiers in September, several players of appropriate age selected for the national team will be given priority to represent the national Olympic team, so they are also absent from this national team competition, such as Samir Maalouf, an overseas player and striker who plays for Sweden.
However, it should be pointed out that because the Palestinian team is preparing for the Asian Cup in Qatar next January, although some core players are missing, the team's general framework has not been greatly adjusted. Tunisian Macran Dabb, who is currently the head coach of the Palestinian national team, formed a team in March to start preparing for the Asian Cup final, leading the team to Bahrain for a warm-up match against the Bahrain national team, which won 2-1. Of the 23-man squad for this visit, 14 players were players who had participated in warm-up matches against Bahrain. On this basis, Dabb added five new faces, players who had never played for the Palestinian national team before, and recalled four players who had played for the Palestinian national team.
Jaber, a first-time callee for the Palestinian national team, was the captain of Israel's U21 national youth team
It is worth mentioning that among the 5 new faces, midfielder Atta Jaber, who plays for the Azerbaijani Bakunev Chit, was born in an Arab family in northern Israel, his family is mainly Muslim and Arab, and has represented the Israeli youth national team at all levels, and has led the Israeli U21 national youth team to participate in the European Youth Championship as the captain. But earlier this year, because Jaber was not very good to be selected for the Israeli national team, he proposed to change his nationality and hope to represent the Palestinian national team. After FIFA's approval, Jaber got his wish last month. So, this time he was able to get into. Given the current relationship between Israel and Palestine, Jaber will represent the Palestinian national team for the first time, which is naturally particularly eye-catching.
It is reported that the Palestinian national team has now arrived in Amman, Jordan, and will first conduct several days of closed training in Amman, and then fly to Jakarta to participate in a warm-up match with the Indonesian national team on June 14, and then move to Dalian to prepare for the match with the Chinese national team on June 20.
