2024 is a big year for football, with the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, and then the all-important 2026 World Preliminary Tournament, entering April, the U23 Asian Cup will be held, and this is also the qualifier for the Paris Olympic Games. The most important event of the year is the World Preliminary Tournament, where the 2026 World Cup has been expanded and the Asian region has won 8.5 qualification places, and all countries are eyeing the promotion places.

Since the level of Asian football is second-rate in world football, except for Japan and South Korea, which are competitive in the World Cup, it is difficult for the rest of the teams to successfully qualify from the group in the World Cup. In the World Preliminaries, Asian Cup and U23 Asian Cup, a considerable number of countries have adopted a naturalization policy in order to improve their competitiveness, and quickly advanced their strength in a short period of time to improve their competitiveness in the World Preliminaries, Asian Cup and other events.

Southeast Asian team Indonesia is ranked 134th in the world and 23rd in Asia, but Indonesia is the most successful team in recent years to bring in naturalized players. In the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, the Indonesian team was in the same group as Iraq, Japan, and Vietnam, and finally Indonesia successfully advanced to the knockout round with the third place in the best group, while the Chinese men's football team did not qualify from the group.

In the World Preliminaries, the Indonesian team and Iraq, Vietnam, the Philippines in the same group, after four rounds, Indonesia accumulated 7 points in the second group, 4 points ahead of the 3rd-ranked Vietnamese team, as long as the last two rounds of three points will definitely advance to the round of 18, thus creating the best results in the history of the team in the World Preliminaries, entering the final stage of the World Preliminaries Asian region, and impacting the World Cup finals.

In the ongoing U23 Asian Cup, the Indonesian Olympic team reached the semi-finals, shocking Asian football. In the group stage, Indonesia and the host Qatar, Australia and Jordan are in the same three groups, Indonesia was identified as the weakest team in the group before the game, Indonesia showed amazing energy in the first round, and Qatar was sent off 2 people, and finally lost 0-2, if it was not for 2 people sent off, the outcome of this game is difficult to predict.

Indonesia then upset Australia 1-0 and then swept Jordan 4-1 in the final round of the group stage to finish second in the group and advance to the quarterfinals. In the 1/4 finals, the opponent of the Indonesian team is the South Korean Olympic team, which has participated in 9 consecutive Olympic Games, but in this game, the Indonesian team and the South Korean team fought for 120 minutes, the score of the two sides was 2-2, and in the penalty shootout, Indonesia narrowly defeated the South Korean team 11-10 and reached the semifinals.

Indonesia are just one game away from creating an even bigger surprise by reaching the semi-finals of the U23 Asian Cup for the first time, and as long as they finish in the top three of this year's U23 Asian Cup, Indonesia will participate in the Olympic Games for the first time in history. Even if they finish fourth, Indonesia will have a chance to play a play-off match against an African team to qualify for the Olympics. The Indonesian Olympic Games have made history, and the next is the harvest season, the world preliminaries, and Indonesia will also hit the top 18.

Compared with the Indonesian Olympic Games, China's performance in this year's U23 Asian Cup is not satisfactory, in the group stage, China's Olympic team lost to Japan and South Korea, bid farewell to the Paris Olympics early, and defeated the United Arab Emirates 2-1 in the final round with a confirmed group exit, reaping comfort. The Chinese youth team has missed the World Series for 16 consecutive years, and now even the youth teams of Southeast Asian teams Indonesia and Vietnam can perform better than the Chinese youth team, which is really embarrassing for fans.
