Although the national football coach Li Tie has repeatedly said that he hopes to be able to play at home, the new changes in the domestic epidemic have finally frustrated this idea. On November 1, the official Weibo of the Chinese men's national football team confirmed that the two home matches of the Round of 12 in November will be held in Sharjah, UAE, with the tee time to be determined. The Chinese men's football team will depart for the United Arab Emirates again on November 7, going all out to complete the preparation and competition tasks.

In the latest standings of the round of 12, the national football team with 1 win and 3 losses accumulated 3 points, ranking 5th, 9 points behind the Saudi team at the top of the group, and there is also a big gap from the second Australian team in the group with 9 points. According to the schedule, the match between the national football team and Oman will start on the 11th, and the second leg match with Australia will be held on the 16th, and if you want to keep the hope of qualifying for the World Cup, these two games are extremely critical. After the game, the national football team will return home immediately.
It is understood that after losing to Saudi Arabia in the fourth round of the 12th round, the Chinese men's football team chose to return to China to prepare for the game. At present, the national football team has transferred from Suzhou to Shanghai for training, and a total of 31 players have participated in the training. On the 3rd, the training players will be divided into two groups for warm-up matches, against Shenzhen in the Chinese Super League and Zhejiang in the Chinese First Division. After these two games, Li Tie will reduce the national football team lineup to 25 people.
In addition, although FIFA and AFC agreed to allow fans to enter the tournament, due to the AFC competition regulations , arranged in the Asian region of the World Preliminary Tournament arranged at the venue of third-party member associations , general spectators are not allowed to enter, so the two round of 12 matches in November will be vacated. However, the national football team is not unfamiliar with Sharjah, in the last 3 rounds of the 40 rounds and the 3rd round of the 12 rounds against Vietnam, the national football team has won 4 games here, and Sharjah can also be called the happy land of the national football team.
