At the Tokyo Olympic Games, which was postponed for one year due to the novel coronavirus epidemic, the qualification of men's soccer players will be changed from U23 to U24, that is, players born after 1 997 65438+1October1are still eligible. Previously, according to the Olympic rules, men's soccer players should be under the age of 23, and each team is allowed to have three over-age players.
The differences between the national football team and u23 national football team are as follows:
1. The selected objects are different. The selection targets of the national team are the best football players in the country. They are usually top players who have performed well and are skilled in professional clubs. U23 stands for young players under 23. These players are in the early stages of their careers. By participating in the U23 competition, you can show your strength and lay the foundation for entering the national team in the future.
2. The scale of competition is different. The national team usually participates in various important international competitions, such as the World Cup and the Asian Cup. These competitions have high popularity and influence. On the other hand, U23 is more likely to participate in some youth championships or regional competitions, such as Asian U23 championships. Although the game is small in scale, it is a valuable exercise opportunity for young players.
3. The qualifications are different, and the qualifications of the national team are stricter. Players need to pass strict selection and examination before they can be selected. U23 is more open. As long as the age meets the requirements, young players have the opportunity to participate in relevant competitions. This policy encourages more young players to actively participate in international competitions and improve their competitive level and international experience.
To sum up, there are obvious differences between the national team and U23 in the selection object, competition scale and qualification. The national team represents the highest honor of a country, and U23 is an important platform for cultivating a new generation of football talents. Both the national team and U23 are promoting the development of football in China at different levels.
