Two years ago, Chinese player Wu Xiaohai was selected for the Canadian Olympic team and represented the Canadian Olympic Games in the Central and North American Olympic Qualifiers. Last year, Wu Xiaohai was selected for the 35-man squad of the Canadian national football team, but unfortunately he was not selected for the official list of the Canadian national football team. It is reported that last year, there were Turkish Super League teams, Portuguese Super League teams and Chinese Super League teams who contacted Wu Xiaohai and wanted him to transfer to join.
According to sports media people, the Chinese Super League Shenhua team is likely to have contacted Wu Xiaohai at the beginning of this year, as for why Wu Xiaohai failed to join Shenhua, some people think that Wu Xiaohai "opened his mouth" and wanted higher wages and naturalization fees. According to overseas sports media, in fact, Wu Xiaohai himself probably thinks that the level of the Chinese Super League is too low, and believes that playing in the Chinese Super League is likely to hinder him from playing in Europe. That's why he chose to renew his contract with the Vancouver Whitecaps for another year.

It is said that Wu Xiaohai's parents have revealed that Wu Xiaohai himself is willing to play for the Chinese team, but he may not want to play in the Chinese league, and he wants to return to the team to participate in the game when the Chinese team has a game. Therefore, Wu Xiaohai's attitude towards returning to the Chinese team is likely to be that he agrees to represent the national football team, but he is likely not to consider going to the Chinese Super League, and he may be determined to go to the second tier league in Europe in the future.

FIFA has a rule that players who have been naturalized within three generations do not have to live in the country of naturalization for at least five years. Wu Xiaohai is a second-generation Chinese player who fully satisfies FIFA's naturalization policy. In other words, he can play in the MLS or Europe, and he does not need to live in China for 5 years, and he can represent the national football team immediately after naturalization.
If the national football team can participate in the top 18 next year, if the national football team has Chinese player Wu Xiaohai to help, it will be of great help to the national football team to impact the 2026 World Cup. In case the national football team enters the 2026 World Cup, Wu Xiaohai is likely to represent the national football team in the World Cup, so that he will complete his dream of participating in the World Cup. If this is the case, for Wu Xiaohai and Chinese football, both sides will be a "win-win" ending.
