Although there is a high voice about changing the 12 tournament into a tournament system, considering the needs of sponsors and the interests of FIFA, this is considered unlikely to happen. Windsor also pointed out that when the 12 top-level competition started, the new season in Europe had already begun. If the match is not arranged on the FIFA match day, players from European teams will not be able to return to the team. In this case, the top game of 12 cannot be played through the tournament system. The top 40 competition was changed to the championship system because there was no club competition at that time.
Due to the epidemic, some participating member associations hope to adopt the tournament system. After all, the situation is special now, and the home and away system may be restricted by the epidemic prevention policy. In this regard, Windsor said that Asian countries should be more cautious about the epidemic and give priority to the health of their citizens. AFC respects the practices of governments and epidemic prevention regulations. If a team can't host a home game, it must find a neutral venue.
In the top 40 matches, China Football Association encountered this problem. Because many Maldivian and Syrian teams couldn't get the green code, they couldn't arrive in Suzhou on time to participate in the competition. After consulting with the China Football Association, the AFC urgently moved the competition to Sharjah. In the 12 match, the China Football Association must plan ahead, and how to deal with similar situations once they happen again.
The variable mainly lies in the visiting team. If the home game goes on normally, there will be no pressure for the Football Association to run the game. In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Windsor expressed the hope that fans would enter the stadium to watch the game. Previously, the Super League had opened some stands, and the home game of the top 40 national football teams against Guam was also open to fans. It can be predicted that in the top game of 12, as long as the national football team makes its debut at home, the atmosphere will explode. Peninsula Morning News 39-degree video reporter Sui Haitao
