According to the plan, the entire national football team will fly to Doha in the early morning of August 26. According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the five Chinese referees of the top 12 law enforcement competitions will also go to West Asia on the same day, but due to insufficient "position", the referees will not depart with the international footballers. In addition, Dai Xiaowei, director of the Media and Public Relations Department of the Football Association, said in an interview that the national football team may need to be prepared for 4 consecutive games abroad.
At present, the national football team is resuming training in Shanghai, and due to the injury of some players in the team, the national football team has successively recruited Zheng Zheng and Wang Shangyuan to the team. If there are no surprises, all 33 internationals currently participating in training are expected to travel to Doha to cope with future or injury situations. According to the plan, the national team players will leave Shanghai in the early morning of the 26th by charter flight.
In addition, five Chinese referees, including Fu Ming, Ma Ning and Zhang Lei, have also received the task of enforcing the top 12, and according to beijing youth daily, they will depart on the same day as the national football team. However, due to the limited number of places on the charter flight of the national football team, they will not depart with the international footballers.
At present, the national football team's away matches with Australia and the home match against Japan are all determined to be played in Doha. The next October or even November matches, whether they will return to home is uncertain. The director of the Media and Public Relations Department of the Football Association also talked about related issues in an interview with the "Football 100 Points" program. He said that due to the impact of the epidemic and other factors, the home match with the Japanese team was placed in Doha, which could avoid the fatigue and decline of the players due to the back and forth. In addition, the national football team should also be prepared to play 4 consecutive rounds of matches abroad, and the team will also bring more players to cope with uncertain situations such as sudden and injury.
