The World Cup in 2026 will be co -organized by the United States, Canada and Mexico, and the participating teams will be added to 48, and the AFC will receive a total of 8.5 places.

Is there a chance for the Chinese team to expand in the World Cup?

For the national football team, which has been shortlisted for the twelve contests for two consecutive times, but in the end, the National Football Team, which failed to get at least the third place in the group. Although the number of quota in the World Cup has increased, the national football team is still very far away from the World Cup.

Judging from the current world ranking, the national football will definitely start from the second stage. Well, we follow this route.

The second stage of the qualifiers 9 groups, four teams in each group, according to the convention, the selection lottery is based on the ranking of the FIFA, so for the national football team, it is very important to strive for FIFA ranks in the top nine in Asia. In this way, the national football team can be divided into the first gear. Even if the second gear is drawn with a slightly stronger opponent, the final 50%chance of qualifying will still have a lot of opportunities to advance. If it falls in the second gear, once the third gear team is slightly stronger, it will increase the difficulty of the national football line.

At the end of June, FIFA announced the ranking of the latest men's football team. The national football ranking fell out of the top ten Asia, ranking 78th in the world, and 11th in Asia. In the previous ranking, the national football team ranked 77th in the world, and the 10th Asian National Football Team played the East Asian Cup competition. Forcing Japan and defeating Hong Kong in China will allow the world ranking of the national football team to enhance the space -China lost to the South Korean team and lost In the score of 2.99 points, Ting Japan scored 2.25 technical points and lost a total of 0.74 points. The national football team won the Hong Kong team of China. In terms of FIFA ranking technical points, 3 multi -technical points can be obtained, so that the national football team is expected to return to the top ten in Asia.

Since the National Football Team does not participate in the FIFA competition day in September, the team's next official appearance is likely to wait until March next year. After the Asian Cup in 2023, the national football team lost the host advantage, and it was difficult to become a seed team. challenge.

How to do a good job of building a national team will inevitably become the most needed task that the Chinese Football Association needs to complete in the next year. If the national football team can successfully break into the third stage qualifiers, it is the final 18th competition -the competition system is actually the same as the top 12. It is nothing more than a group. From the perspective of the qualifying rules, the first two teams in the group are promoted directly. The strength of the national football team is very difficult to win the top two, but under the new competition system, it is not just the third place in the group stage. Four can also get opportunities for playoffs.

For the National Football Team, striving to get the fourth place in the group and strive to go out directly to the game, it is a relatively ideal World Cup line route.
