According to FIFA's plan for 2020, China's men's soccer Olympic team must win the top three in Asia in the 20 19 Asian regional qualifiers if it wants to enter the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Olympic Games: Men's Football Team 16, Women's Football Team 12.
According to the latest plan announced by FIFA, there will be 16 teams in the men's soccer competition and 12 teams in the women's soccer competition in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
16 The specific allocation of men's soccer places is: 4 seats in Asia (including host Japan), 4 seats in Europe, 3 seats in Africa, 2 seats in North, Central and Caribbean, 2 seats in South America, and 0 seats in Oceania/kloc.
Compared with the men's soccer competitions in the past three Olympic Games, the ranking of Asia has not changed much.
In fact, the number of Asian men's soccer players in this Tokyo Olympic Games is the same as that in 2008. Japan, as the host country, automatically enters the finals, and the other three seats need to be decided by the final of the 2020 Asian U-23 Championship (held every two years, one year before the Olympic Games, as an Olympic qualifier).
As for the women's football competition in the Tokyo Olympic Games, FIFA's specific allocation of 12 places is: 3 seats in Asia (including host Japan), 3 seats in Europe, 2 seats in North, Central and Caribbean, 0/0.5 seats in South America and Africa, and 0/0 seats in Oceania and Kloc (South America and Africa need to play the knockout round).
This quota is the same as that of the last Olympic Games, which means that China women's football team must reach the top two in the finals of Asian regional qualifiers in 2020 if they want to enter the Tokyo Olympic Games.
It is difficult for the Olympic team to break through.
In contrast, the China women's football team returned to the Olympic Games as the second in Asia last year. However, China men's soccer team has been absent from the 20 12 and 20 16 Olympic Games since it entered the Olympic finals as the host in 2008.
The school-age players of China Olympic Team who participated in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games were born on 1997 1 days later.
At the U 19 Asian Youth Championship held last year, the 97 national youth team scored only 1 in the group stage and was eliminated as the last in the group. This fully proves that China's youth training in the same age group has been in a backward position in Asia, and it is very difficult to break through the qualifiers two years later.
1997 At present, players of this age can get more opportunities to play in the Super League, including Huang, Wei Zhen in Shanghai, Cong Zhen in Shenhua midfield, Yang in Jingang, Luneng's, Hu Jinghang in Jianye, Lifan's and Cao Yongjing in Zhongjia. Overseas players include Zhang Yuning and Lin.
However, due to the New Deal of U23, they got more playing opportunities, and Zhang Yuning and Lin were not the main players overseas.
In addition, although the 97th Olympic Games began to be organized this year, there is still no head coach.
According to the arrangement of the China Football Association, the Tokyo Olympic trials team will participate in the Southwest Division of the German D-League this winter. It is not known for the time being how much influence this competition will have on them.
Top 32 World Cup rankings
FIFA also announced the rules for drawing lots for the 20 18 World Cup in Russia, and the team ranking in the World Cup group stage will be determined according to the world ranking in June 20 10.
20 16 The drawing principle of the top 32 World Cup in Brazil is also based on the World Cup ranking.
Among them, the top seven teams and host Brazil are listed as the first-class seed teams, the second-class teams are five African teams and two South American teams, the third-class teams are four Asian teams and four Central and North American teams, and the fourth-class teams are nine European teams.
Draw lots to ensure that there are at most 2 European teams in each group, and other teams on the same continent cannot be in the same group.
The draw ceremony for the World Cup in Russia will be held on February 1 day this year. The scoring principle still depends on international rankings. FIFA will take the world ranking published on 2017101October 16 as the standard.
However, except for the first grade, the other three grades will be completely ranked in the world, and there will be no continental restrictions.
The only relevant draw restriction is that the same group draw avoidance principle is still adopted. Except for European teams, there will be no teams from the same continent in the same group.
