The Chinese men's football team is about to start its journey in the 2024 Asian Cup, and the first game will face Tajikistan at 22:30 Beijing time on January 13, 2024. This game will be the first test of the national football team in the group stage, and it is reassuring that the kick-off time of the three group games is before 0 o'clock, and fans do not need to stay up late to support the national football team.
In the last Asian Cup, the national football team ranked second with 2 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, defeated Thailand 2-1 in the quarterfinals, and lost 0-3 to Iran in the quarterfinals, and finally ranked 6th. In this competition, the Chinese team will play against Lebanon at 19:30 on January 17, 2024, and the final round will face Qatar at 23:00 on January 22.
The Qatari team is not only the host, but also the defending champions of the last Asian Cup. Despite their poor performance at the 2022 World Cup, Qatar has remained highly competitive in the Asian arena. In the last Asian Cup, they won all 7 games and won the championship, and through the experience of the World Cup, the overall strength of the Qatar team is stronger.
In addition to Qatar, China's group opponents include Lebanon and Tajikistan. Although the two teams are weak overall, their tough style of play could cause problems for the national team and make the group stage more challenging.
According to the rules of the Asian Cup, the top two teams in the group can qualify directly, while the four best third-placed finishers also have a chance to qualify. Therefore, as long as the national football team is not at the bottom, there is still hope to qualify. #Record My 2024##Chinese Football Team#
