What is the situation that the national football team temporarily lost the Asian Cup seed team?

65438+February 2 1, FIFA announced the year-end ranking of the national team. The national men's soccer team in China dropped from the previous 60th to 7 1, and the ranking in Asia dropped from 5th to 6th. The national football team only scored 2 draws 1 negative in the East Asia Cup held in Japan. Although the process was satisfactory, the national football team slipped to 7 1 in the FIFA year-end ranking because of its poor record and too many points lost.

National football year-end ranking

Saudi Arabia was originally behind the national football team, but because there was no competition during this period, the ranking rose automatically, which also led to the national football team being surpassed in Asia and being squeezed from fifth to sixth.

The 20 19 Asian Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates, and this Asian Cup will be expanded to 24 teams. * * * will be divided into six groups, and the lottery ceremony will be held in April next year. Before the draw ceremony, the FIFA ranking will be used as the basis for dividing the seed teams, that is, the top six teams in Asia will become the seed teams. Because the UAE team is the host, if the team is not in the top six in Asia by then, the top five will become the seed team together with the UAE team. At present, the United Arab Emirates ranks seventh in Asia, so the national football team currently ranked sixth in Asia "temporarily" lost the qualification of the seed team. However, if we can achieve good results in the China Cup in March next year, the national football team still has a chance to ensure the qualification of the Asian Cup seed team.

I hope that the national football team will continue to work hard to improve its ranking.
